Method
Prepare the Simple Syrup:
If you don't have simple syrup on hand, you can make it by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.
Juice the Lemons:
Squeeze the juice from fresh lemons until you have 1 oz. Use a citrus juicer for efficiency.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and rosewater. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
Shake It Up:
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This helps to chill the drink and mix the flavors well.
Strain and Serve:
Strain the mixture into chilled martini glasses. If you like, you can use a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp from the lemon juice.
Garnish:
Add a lemon slice or a few edible flowers to the rim for an elegant touch.
Enjoy!
Sip and savor the refreshing blend of flavors!
Variations
Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute the vodka with sparkling water or a lemon-flavored soda for a refreshing mocktail.
Herbal Twist: Add a few fresh mint leaves to the shaker before shaking for a minty version.
Fruit-Infused: Muddle some fresh berries (like raspberries or strawberries) in the shaker before adding the other ingredients for a fruity twist.
