Rose (cocktail)
Rose (cocktail)[edit | edit source]
The Rose is a classic cocktail that originated in the early 20th century. It is a delicate blend of dry vermouth, cherry brandy, and raspberry syrup, resulting in a drink that is as beautiful as it is flavorful.
History[edit | edit source]
The Rose cocktail was first published in "ABC of Mixing Cocktails", a book by Harry MacElhone, a famous bartender of the 1920s. The drink was popular in Paris, where MacElhone owned a bar, and quickly spread to other parts of the world.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The Rose cocktail is made with the following ingredients:
- 2 oz dry vermouth
- 1 oz cherry brandy
- 1 oz raspberry syrup
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare the Rose cocktail, follow these steps:
- Pour the dry vermouth, cherry brandy, and raspberry syrup into a mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir well until the outside of the glass becomes cold.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Optionally, garnish with a cherry or a lemon twist.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of the Rose cocktail, including:
- Rose Royale: This version replaces the raspberry syrup with raspberry liqueur and tops the drink with champagne.
- White Rose: This variation uses white vermouth instead of dry vermouth and adds a dash of lemon juice.
