Frost Petal Fizz

Imagine a drink that encapsulates the essence of a serene winter garden at dawn, where flowers bloom against the frosty backdrop, and the air is crisp with the promise of snow.

Begin by infusing your gin with winter spices. This can be done a few days in advance by adding cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange peel to a bottle of gin and letting it sit in a cool, dark place. Strain before use. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the elderflower liqueur, infused gin, lemon juice, white cranberry juice, and aromatic bitters with ice. 3. Shake gently to combine the ingredients without overly diluting the drink. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled champagne flute or a coupe glass. 5. Top up the cocktail gently with Prosecco or a dry sparkling wine to add effervescence. 6. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and carefully place a few edible flowers atop the drink to give it an elegant and floral finish.
