Description
The Russian Rose is an elegant and refreshing long drink that strikes a wonderful balance between bitter, sweet, and sour notes. The clean base of vodka allows the other ingredients to shine: a bitter aperitif like Campari provides tart complexity, orange juice adds fruity sweetness, and the bitter lemon rounds out the drink with its zesty citrus note. A sophisticated aperitif with a beautiful rosy hue.
Preparation
- Fill a highball glass with plenty of ice cubes.
- Pour vodka, bitter aperitif, and orange juice directly into the glass.
- Slowly top up with well-chilled bitter lemon.
- Stir gently and garnish with a lemon slice.
