Nobara cocktail

Method

1. For the rose syrup: put the rose petals into a small saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Cool.

2. Strain through a sieve into a measuring cup, then return liquid to a clean saucepan. Add an equal amount of caster sugar and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Leave to cool.

4. Put all cocktail ingredients into a cocktail shaker with some ice and shake to blend. Strain into a chilled martini glass and decorate with rose petals.

Cook's note: Leftover rose syrup can be stored in a sealed bottle in the fridge indefinitely.
