With Valentine’s Day around the corner, a bouquet of flowers and some chocolate is a safe gift for your significant other. A little too safe.

If you want to go the extra mile, the ‘Buy Me Flowers’ cocktail is the perfect way to set your gift apart from the pack. The traditional Bombay Sapphire is mixed with honey, lemon juice and rose water, with some ice in a mixing tin for a drink to mark the special day.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz.’s Bombay Sapphire
• .5 oz.’s honey
• .75 oz.’s lemon juice
• 2 dashes rose water
• 1.5 oz.’s MARTINI sparkling rose
• 1 rose petal

Method: 

In a mixing tin, add the Bombay Sapphire, honey, lemon juice and rose water. Fill the tin with ice and shake vigorously to chill. Double strain into a chilled flute or stemmed cocktail glass and top with Martini sparkling rose. Garnish and enjoy.
