Rose Cardamom Citrus Cocktail

This video combines my passion for creating with my love of celebrating with friends. My heart sings when I can come together with loved ones over good food and wine, and belly laugh well into the night. I am usually most inspired during these experiences -- seeing what dishes people proudly create for their friends. I like to prepare for such events by researching interesting cocktails, and ever since I made my own rose water, I've been dying to make a cocktail with it.

This drink is light and fresh. A bit of muddled cardamom, some fresh citrus juice, and honey-sweetened rose water with a hint of gin.
