Cupid’s Arrow Cocktail Ingredients

Raspberry Vodka – This sweet and fruity flavored vodka provides a delicious backdrop for this sparkling cocktail. Purchase raspberry vodka from your local spirit store, or infuse regular vodka with raspberries at home.
Triple Sec – Orange liqueur provides a bit of additional sweetness and a bit of citrus flavor. It helps balance the other flavors without being overpowering.
Lemon Juice – Most cocktails require a bit of acidity to brighten the drink and to balance the sweetness of a drink. Use fresh lemon juice or bottled juice.
Rose Syrup – The floral flavor of rose syrup is perfect for cocktails made with berries or rosé. It brings out the undernotes of the wine. Plus it’s sweet and delicious.
Sparkling Rosé Wine – This pink sparkling wine adds color and effervescence to the Cupid’s Arrow cocktail. Rosé tastes pairs well with berries and florals, so it’s the perfect addition to this pink drink.

Homemade Rose Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is one of the best ingredients for adding sweetness and extra flavor to a cocktail. If you can stir, then you can make any simple syrup!

Add 1 cup of water, 1 cup of edible rose petals, and 1 cup of sugar to a small saucepan.
Heat the saucepan on medium-low heat until it starts to simmer. This happens just before the boiling point.
Regularly stir the water-sugar mixture until all of the sugar dissolves.
Allow the syrup to cool on the stove for an hour or two.
Strain the cooled syrup into a glass jar or a syrup bottle to remove the rose petals.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
