Bill Varney’s Lemon-Rose Martini

Bill Varney founded the Fredericksburg Herb Farm in 1985. He sold this legendary
Hill Country destination in 2007 and created URBANHerbal, a wonderful herbal
haven adjacent to the original herb farm property. Bill is always creating
unique herbal- or flower-oriented things to eat and drink. This luscious martini
is a great example.

1 Combine first 5 ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously

2 Run the lemon around the rim of a martini glass, then twist it over the glass
and drop it in. Strain the martini into the glass and serve, garnished with a
floating rose petal.
3 In a food processor, grind the sugar and the rose petals until the mixture is
finely ground with beautiful rose specks.
4 In a small saucepan, bring the water and the rose sugar to a boil and
immediately reduce to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and stir until dissolved.
5 Allow to cool. Bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
