Sudanese Rose
I found this while cruising online from Chris Stanley of Rookie Libations. I haven’t tried it yet but the Sudanese Rose just really caught my eye. It looks fairly complex but worth the effort.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz. Rhum Agricole Blanc (La Favorite)
- 1/2 oz. Lillet Blonde
- 2 oz. Karkade (Hibiscus tisane, jaimaica also works fine)
- 3-4 dashes hibiscus grenadine
- For hibiscus grenadine:
- 2 Cups: white Sugar
- 1 Cup: Water
- 1/4 Cup: dried Hibiscus flowers
- 1 whole Pomegranate, seeded
Instructions
- For hibiscus grenadine:
- In a saucepan, bring the sugar & water to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the Pomegranate seeds & Hibiscus flowers and simmer on medium heat for about twenty minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Allow to cool then strain by preferred method (cheesecloth, strainer, &c.), add an (optional) ounce of vodka as a preservative & bottle.
- For Sudanese Rose:
- Combine ingredients in a mixing glass & stir well with plenty of ice.
- Strain into a double-rocks glass, half-filled with ice. Garnish with a twist of Lime, sprig of fresh Peppermint & an organic Rose petal.
