Homemade Rose Mocktail with Ginger and Rose Petals

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're going to brew a delicate rose syrup by simmering sugar and water with dried petals, then combine it with fresh lemon-ginger juice and sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail. The trickiest part is making sure the syrup cools completely so your drink stays perfectly chilled and sparkling.

Make the sweet rose syrup

First, let's build the base of our cocktail. In a small saucepan, combine a cup of water with half a cup of sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved and you have a clear syrup.

Infuse with fragrant roses

Once the syrup is ready, turn the heat down to low (or off completely). Add a handful of dried rose petals to the syrup. Let them gently simmer and infuse for about 10 minutes. The syrup will turn a beautiful pink and soak up a delicate floral aroma.

Prepare the lemon-ginger juice

While the roses are infusing, let's prepare the second flavor component. Squeeze fresh lemon juice. Peel a piece of ginger and finely grate it straight into the lemon juice. Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger depending on how spicy you like it.

Chill the syrup

Strain the finished rose syrup through a fine sieve to remove the infused petals. Let the strained syrup cool completely. This step matters if you want the cocktail to be truly refreshing.

Mix the final cocktail

Grab a tall glass, whichever one you like. Fill it with ice cubes (if you want an extra-chilled refreshment). Pour in the cooled rose syrup, add the prepared lemon-ginger juice, and top it all off with sparkling water.
