Instructions

Step 1: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz crème de violette, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz rose water, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Add ice and shake for 15 seconds until the shaker is frosty and the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
Step 2: Strain into a chilled coupe glass using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ice shards. The liquid should have a pale pink hue from the rose water and violette.
Step 3: Gently place a single edible rose petal on the surface and garnish with a lemon twist, pressing the peel lightly against the glass to release citrus oils.
