Wild Rose-tini

June 17, 2019

Everyone enjoys a festive drink. Whether you be imbibing or not, this fun and floral Wild Rose-tini is the perfect summer sipper for an evening with friends.

Ingredients:

1.5oz Rose Petal Shrub No. 5
1.5oz White Rum or Vodka or seltzer*
.75oz Honey Simple Syrup (recipe follows)
3 drops Bitter Tears, Hibiscus Rose Bitters (optional)
Lemon Twist
Pinch Maine Sea Salt (optional)
Tulsi Leaves and Rosa Rugosa Petals for garnish

Directions:

In a cocktail shaker, add Rose Petal Shrub No. 5, White Rum or Vodka, Honey Simple Syrup, bitters, and ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupe. Add a twist of lemon, just to get the essential oils, discard. Sprinkle with a pinch of Maine Sea Salt and garnish with fresh Tulsi leaves, flowers, or rose petals.

*For a mocktail version of this drink, combine all the ingredients in a highball glass, fill with ice, stir, and top with seltzer. Total amount of seltzer added will be anywhere from 2oz-6oz. This will depend on your personal taste, and how tangy you like your drink. Garnish with freshly harvested rose petals and tulsi, and serve with a flowery paper straw.

Honey Simple Syrup

1c honey
1c water

Combine in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Allow to boil until the honey is dissolved. About 5 minutes. Keep a careful eye on this as it can boil quickly, and if you're not careful, it can burn rather easily.

Cheers!

Calendula Oil

The farm in the summer is filled with beautiful plant life and rows and rows of orange and yellow buzzing with the sounds of pollinators. Calendula is an easy plant to grow and easily self-seeds year after year. Its sticky, resinous blossoms are one of my favorite topical plants to grow and have on hand year-round. These beautiful yellow blossoms are antimicrobial, astringent, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. They have an amazing ability to regenerate skin cells and heal wounds without scars. You can use calendula oil alone on cuts, scratches, burns and rashes or use the oil as a base for other topical recipes.
