Hollywood Starlet mocktail in a martini glass with pale blush-pink color, edible rose petals, and raspberry garnish

Ingredients

2 oz raspberry juice (fresh raspberries blended and strained)
1 oz white grape juice
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz simple syrup
1/4 tsp rose water (no more — trust me)
2 oz sparkling water
Edible rose petals, for garnish
Fresh raspberry on a crystal pick, for garnish

Instructions

In a shaker with ice, combine raspberry juice, white grape juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and rose water.
Shake gently for 10 seconds — you want this chilled but not over-diluted.
Double-strain into a chilled martini glass.
Top with sparkling water, pouring very gently to preserve the delicate color.
Float 3-4 edible rose petals on the surface of the drink.
Thread a fresh raspberry onto a crystal cocktail pick and rest it across the rim.
Serve immediately — this drink is meant to be admired before it's sipped.
