National Martini Day with Purity Vodka
Happy Monday, everyone! Did you know that today is National Martini Day? What better way to kick off the week?!
To celebrate, I decided to shake up a delicious, IG-worthy martini. With some help from Purity Vodka and Food & Wine, I present to you the most coveted It-Drink of the season, the Darling Rose Martini! 🍸
This martini was inspired by current obsession with floral accents. I’ve been using a lot of rose-based products lately, so I wanted to take a go at crafting a rose-infused martini! The result was a super smooth, aromatic sweet drink. I think I found a new favorite!
The Darling Rose Martini Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 1/2 cups Purity Vodka
- 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon rose water
- Ice cubes
- 24 edible rose petals
- Total Time:
- Servings: makes 8 drinks
Directions:
-
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool, then stir in the vodka, lemon juice and rose water.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add one-fourth of the martini mixture and shake. Strain into 2 martini glasses, garnish with rose petals and serve. Repeat to make the remaining martinis.

Alexandra says
Hahaha I was just thinking that the other day! All these holidays… who comes up with these?!
Lynn Woods says
This is a day I need to start celebrating! Where did you get your edible roses from?
Alexandra says
I got them from Amazon! Essentially are roses are edible though right? So I’m sure you’d be fine with store-bought flowers if you gave the petals a good wash!

I’ve never heard of purity but am so intrigued. This cocktail sounds insane. yummmm
Alexandra says
Purity is awesome! And the rose oil really masked the strength of the vodka itself.
