RASPBERRY AND ROSE PROSECCO SPRITZER

Tis the season to add colour and something a little floral to your life. Lots of edible flowers are in season so why not? I have created this fun and delicious Raspberry and Rose Prosecco Spritzer as a Friday treat. For more information on edible flowers visit this Canadian Living article 

Makes 4 

Ingredients

½ cup frozen or fresh raspberries
10 edible rose petals
1tsp rosewater
2 tsp sugar
approx. 500ml of prosecco, champagne or cava
500ml tonic water 

Method

For the raspberry and rose syrup place the raspberries, rose petals, rosewater, sugar and 2 tbsp of water in a small saucepan bring to a boil for about 5 min then leave to cool. Strain through a fine sieve.

When syrup is cooled place 1 tbsp of the syrup in each glass, fill glass up 2/3 of the way with prosecco and top with tonic water.

Garnish with either edible rose petals or other edible flowers. I used very pretty Dianthus flowers.

This drink is fruity and floral but the addition of tonic water makes it not too sweet. Happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend.
