red rose petal martini 001 Valentine Red Rose Petal Martini

This is a Pure Martini Red Rose Petal Fusion that I demonstrated on Fox 29 “Good Morning Show” in Philly for Valentine’s Day. The reduction process occurs overnight. Which is “Herve This” method. Also, I use ZYR Vodka because after trial and error with other Vodka’s I found the Rose Petal fusion actually promotes the flavor of the vodka . Which is exactly what these fusions are designed for to promote the spirit not to cover-up or overwhelm the the flavor of the spirit. ZYR Vodka also goes through a 9 step distillation process which makes ZYR the most pure vodka I have found on the market.

Red Rose Petal Martini
(by Stephen Gary, Artisan Molecular Mixologist)

For the Red Rose Fusion Design

3 cups Distilled Water

3 Red Roses with petal removed. Trim any top edges of rose which tends to add bitterness

15 ea. Red Cherries with pits removed. Cut in Half

1 pinch of Fresh Basil. Equals about 1 leaf

1/2 TBSP of Fresh Agave nectar

Step 1: In a non-stick saute pan add 1 cup of distilled water.

Step 2: While bringing water to simmer slowly add the fresh Agave Nectar.

Step 3: Add Red Cherries.

Step 4: Add Half of Rose Petals.

Step 5: Bring to simmer and remove from heat.

Step 2: Slowly stir in pinch of Basil.

Step 3: Slowly fold in remaining Rose Petals.

Step 4: In a 1 qt. ceramic dish add remaining distilled water-then slowly incorporate Rose Petal Fusion to ceramic dish.

Step 5: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or 12 hours.

Note: It’s important to use a non-stick pan so that oil/butter will not be needed to prevent sticking, thus creating an undesirable flavor.

Also, Using a ceramic dish to hold fusion overnight is also to prevent any additional flavor that a metal or plastic dish may create.

For the Red Rose Martini:

2.5 oz. ZYR

2.5 oz. Rose Fusion

3 Rose Petals For Garnish

    Sounds great–however, make sure that the roses aren’t sprayed with chemicals, which is prevalent with flowers imported from South America.
