Doha Rose Royale

Description

Rose liqueur makes the first impression, with saffron adding a warmer, gently earthy perfume underneath. Sparkling wine lifts the two aromatics and keeps the vodka base from feeling heavy. The lemon twist works as a fresh top note over a distinctly floral, lightly spiced fizz.

Instructions
