Rose Cordial Sour: Bubbles, Citrus, and a Little Romance
Romantic, elegant, and just a little bit dazzling — this floral sour is made for Valentine’s Day. Portland Syrups’ Rose Cordial brings a fragrant sweetness, balanced by bright lemon and silky egg white foam. A touch of edible glitter makes it sparkle, just like the perfect date night.
PREP: 3 MINS // YIELD: 1 COCKTAIL
INGREDIENTS
- 1 oz Portland Syrups Rose Cordial
- 2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- A pinch of white edible glitter
- Ice
- Rose petal or edible flowers
DIRECTIONS
- In a cocktail shaker (without ice), add the Rose Cordial syrup, gin/vodka, lemon juice, egg white, and a pinch of white edible glitter.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. This step creates the frothy texture from the egg white.
- Open the shaker, add ice, and shake again for another 15–20 seconds to chill the drink.
- Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to ensure a silky texture.
- Lightly sprinkle a tiny amount of white edible glitter on top of the froth for a sparkling effect (optional). Garnish with rose petals or an edible flower if desired.
