The Better Lovers Cocktail Recipe

Curated by Rosie's Bartender Troy Sinatra

Better Lovers

A beautiful cocktail you can craft yourself OR we highly suggest taking your date to see the insanely talented Troy at Rosie's Bar (speakeasy located in the back of Rosie's Barbershop) during the month of Love!

The Better Lovers cocktail has honey along with the woody chamomile that compliments the leather, vanilla and caramel notes in the whiskey. Hibiscus and Cardamaro add an earthy, spicy sweetness on the back end, leaving you with a wonderful, savory open and bright, clean finish. Everything is held together by the creamy, fluffy mouthfeel brought in by the aquafaba - a beautiful slow sipper. 
 

  • 1.50oz Root Shoot Whiskey
  • .50oz Cardamaro
  • .50oz honey hibiscus syrup
  • .50oz rose water
  • chamomile
  • aquafaba 
  • expressed lemon peel
  • chamomile garnish

Directions:

Add Root Shoot Whiskey, Cardamaro, honey syrup, rose water, chamomile and aquafaba into a shaker and combine. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with more chamomile and an expressed lemon peel. Enjoy!

P.S. For some extra fun, pay attention to how the cocktail changes colors after It is poured!

About the liquid:

This year Root Shoot released its Root Shoots Spirits' American Single Malt Whiskey (50% ABV) this year. This award-winning whiskey incorporates 100% Colorado-grown and malted grain, sourced from the 5th generation family-run Olander Farms and malted by the sustainability-minded craft maltsters. From field to bottle, this bottled-in-bond American Single Malt Whiskey travels only about 30 miles, representing a uniquely hyper-local and sustainable supply chain journey. 

Everything is held together by the creamy, fluffy mouthfeel brought in by the aquafaba - a beautiful slow sipper.
