Rosé Velvet
This one keeps things simple: a smooth, quiet spirit settles into a bath of coconut and cream, with Hibiscus Flower Syrup doing double duty as both sweetener and blush of color. No demerara here, just soft, syrupy sweetness with a tart little wink underneath. A nightcap in the truest sense.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz coconut rum (or other smooth, subtle aged rum)
- 3/4 oz Hibiscus Flower Syrup
- 1 oz coconut cream
- 1/2 oz heavy cream
- 1 dash vanilla bitters
- pinch of salt
- dried hibiscus flower or shaved coconut, for garnish
Steps
- Add the rum, Hibiscus Flower Syrup, coconut cream, heavy cream, bitters, and salt to a shaker without ice. Shake for 10 seconds to combine and start to emulsify the cream.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until ice-cold and frothy (15–20 seconds).
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with a dried hibiscus flower or a pinch of shaved coconut.
