Equipment

First, grab a cocktail shaker. It’s essential for mixing and chilling the drink.
A strainer is useful because you don’t want ice in your martini glass.
Make sure you have a jigger. This helps in measuring the right amount of each ingredient.

Lastly, prepare a martini glass. Chilling it before pouring the cocktail is a nice touch.
A lemon zester is optional if you want a fancy lemon twist for garnish.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this martini:

2 ounces of vodka: Choose a good-quality vodka.

1 ounce of rose water: This gives the drink its unique floral taste.
0.5 ounce of simple syrup: Adds a touch of sweetness.
Ice cubes: For shaking and chilling.

Lemon twist: For garnish optional but recommended for a nice finish.

These ingredients are easy to find and make the drink come together beautifully. 🌹

Instructions

First, fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
Add the vodka, rose water, and simple syrup.Then, shake it well for about 15 seconds until it’s properly chilled. Strain the mix into the chilled martini glass. 🍸

Lastly, garnish with a lemon twist by running it around the rim for extra flavor.

If you have rose petals, adding one or two on top looks beautiful and enhances the aroma.

Notes

For a less sweet drink, reduce the simple syrup to 0.25 ounces. You can also adjust the rose water to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder floral note.

Remember, using fresh ingredients makes a significant difference in taste. Always chill the glass in the freezer before using it for a crisp, refreshing martini experience.

Trying a different vodka brand can change the martini’s character, too. Feel free to share your tweaks and experiences in the comments below! 🍹✨

Tasting Notes
