The Sunburst Delight is an invigorating summer cocktail that combines the sweetness of ripe strawberries, the tanginess of blood oranges with a hint of floral notes from rose water and subtle cucumber bitternes. The mint simple syrup adds a refreshing cooling note while complementing the vibrant fruits perfectly.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Mint Simple Syrup
  • 3 oz Blood Orange Juice
  • 1 tsp Rose Water Infusion
  • 5 oz (a mix of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) Fresh Berry Mix
  • 2 dashes Cucumber Bitters

Instructions

  • 1. Make the mint simple syrup by boiling water, sugar, and a handful of fresh mint leaves until sugar dissolves.
  • Let it cool down before straining out the mint leaves.
  • Create rose water infusion by simmering rose petals in 1 cup of water for about 30 minutes, then let it steep overnight. Strain and keep aside.
  • Make cucumber bitters by muddling thin slices of cucumber with sugar, letting it sit in a sealed container in the fridge for at least 2 days.
  • In a shaker filled with ice, combine blood orange juice, mint simple syrup, rose water infusion and fresh berry mix. Shake well.
