Rosé Collins

This Rosé Collins is a sophisticated and refreshing take on the classic Tom Collins, perfect for summer afternoons or as an elegant aperitif. The Miro Rosé adds a fruity note and a beautiful pale pink hue to the cocktail, making it as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Ingredients:

• 45 ml of high-quality dry gin
  30 ml of Miró Rosé
  30 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  15 ml of simple syrup (or sugar syrup)
  Sparkling water to top up
  Ice
  To garnish: a lemon slice and a maraschino cherry

Preparation:

1. Fill a tall glass (Collins) with ice to the rim.
2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, Miró Rosé, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
4. Strain the mixture over the ice in the Collins glass.
5. Top with soda water, leaving about 1 cm of headspace.
6. Gently stir with a long bar spoon to blend the ingredients.
7. Garnish with a lemon wedge and a maraschino cherry skewered on a cocktail stick.

Tips:

• For an extra touch of freshness, you can add a few mint or basil leaves as a garnish.
• If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, adjust the amount of simple syrup.
• For a more elegant presentation, use a clear, thin-walled Collins glass.
