Recipe Tips
- Chill your martini glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for the best presentation.
- Edible rose petals are available at specialty grocery stores and online — make sure they are food-grade.
- For a batch version, multiply the recipe and serve in a punch bowl with rose petals floating on top.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Set out a garnish station inspired by the city and batch the main drink base in advance. Finish every glass over fresh ice.
Easy swaps: Use a regional fruit or spice substitute that keeps the recipe's overall color and flavor direction. Use a familiar local soda or sparkling water in place of a specialty mixer.
