Pomegranate Martini with White Rose Tea and Mint Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces vodka (infused with white rose tea)
• 1 bag Numi Organic White Rose Tea
• 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
• 1 1/2 ounces pomegranate juice
• 3-5 fresh mint leaves
• 1 dash cherry bitters
• 1 dash aromatic bitters
• Rose petals
• Honey

Instructions

1. 1

   Infuse the Vodka: Start by placing one bag of Numi Organic White Rose Tea in 1½ ounces of vodka. Let it steep for about 1-2 hours at room temperature or refrigerated for a lighter, more floral infusion. Remove the tea bag after infusion.

2. 2

   Prepare the Cocktail Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine the white rose tea-infused vodka, ½ ounce sweet vermouth, 1½ ounces fresh pomegranate juice, 3-5 fresh mint leaves, 1 dash cherry bitters, and 1 dash aromatic bitters.

3. 3

   Muddle Mint and Mix: Gently muddle the mint leaves in the shaker to release their flavor without overpowering the drink. Add ice to fill the shaker halfway.

4. 4

   Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

5. 5

   Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass to remove ice shards and mint particles for a smooth texture.

6. 6

   Garnish: Lightly drizzle honey over the top or on the rim of the glass and garnish with fresh rose petals for an aromatic and visually appealing finish.
