Rose-Kissed Raspberry Sour
Bursting with berry brightness and delicate floral character, this RaspberryRose Sour is a true sensory experience. Juicy raspberries and fragrant rose intertwine effortlessly, complemented by the honeyed sweetness of prickly pear and the zesty tang of cranberry and fresh lemon juice. The addition of geranium syrup elevates the drink with a graceful botanical finish, resulting in a cocktail that feels both sophisticated and delightfully whimsical.

Double strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass for a perfectly smooth and elegant pour.
Finish with flourish by crowning the cocktail with a delicate cloud of candy floss and a scattering of edible rose petals. Serve immediately and enjoy as the candy floss slowly melts into the drink, adding a touch of magic to every sip.
A few details make all the difference
01
Shake Until Ice-Cold for the Perfect Texture
Don't rush the shake. The combination of rose liqueur, fruit liqueurs, and citrus needs plenty of chilling and dilution to bring the flavours into balance. Shake vigorously for at least 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty to the touch. This creates a smoother, silkier cocktail with a bright, refreshing finish.
02
Chill the Glass in Advance
A chilled coupe or martini glass keeps the cocktail colder for longer and enhances its crisp, refreshing character. Place your glassware in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving, or fill it with ice water while preparing the cocktail and discard before pouring.
03
Add the Candy Floss Just Before Serving
For maximum theatre, crown the cocktail with candy floss immediately before it reaches the table. The delicate sugar cloud will gradually dissolve into the drink, creating a magical presentation while adding a subtle sweetness that complements the raspberry and rose flavours.
