Sparkling Rose With Bay Leaf Syrup Recipes

SPARKLING ROSE WITH BAY LEAF SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, add bay leaves, and let stand for 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
• Pour 2 teaspoons syrup and 1/2 cup rose into each of 16 glasses, and stir. Garnish with orange segments.

SWEET BAY-PEPPERCORN SHRUB

Steps:

• Place the citrus peels in a medium bowl or a large jar. Add the sugar, peppercorns, salt, thyme, cloves and bay leaves.
• Use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to muddle the mixture together, working the sugar mixture into the peels until the peels begin to express their oils and start to turn slightly translucent. Set aside at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight. Much of the sugar should be dissolved, and the citrus peels will be mostly translucent.
• Juice the reserved lemons and grapefruit. (You should have about 1¼ cups juice.) Add the juice to the mixture and stir (or cover and shake the jar) until the sugar and salt dissolve. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on the solids and transfer to an airtight container. The shrub can be stored, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 month.

SPARKLING ROSE COCKTAIL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Chill 2 champagne flutes in the freezer for about an hour prior to serving.
• Make the strawberry simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the strawberries. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, muddling to break down the strawberries, until the syrup is bright red and the strawberries start to lose their color. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the leftover solids. The syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Make the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the vodka, lemon juice, rosewater, and 1 ounce strawberry simple syrup. Close the shaker to seal and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
• Strain the cocktail into the chilled champagne flutes, dividing evenly. Top each glass with 2 ounces of sparkling wine, then fill almost to the brims with club soda. Top with rose dried petals and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
