Top Cocktail: Passion-Politan


Cosmos have become a joke in the cocktail world, all thanks to pop culture, but fortunately, mixologists are still discovering new ways to reinvent this classic. The Passion-Politan by Alex Straus of Suite 700 at the Hotel Shangri-La in Los Angeles features rose syrup to commemorate the season of blooming flowers, as well as champagne for some bubbly. Orange liqueur gives the Passion-Politan a much-needed refreshing punch and passion fruit-infused vodka makes it the perfect sweet treat for tropical-themed parties. You don’t need to be Carrie Bradshaw to look fabulous with a Passion-Politan!

Ingredients
2 oz. Passion fruit-infused vodka (We used SKYY Infusions Passion Fruit)
0.75 oz. Orange liqueur
0.75 oz. Rose syrup (We used Moninn)
0.5 oz. Lime juice
Rose champagne
1 Rose petal

Preparation
Combine all ingredients except champagne in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Add champagne, stir, and strain into a martini glass. Float the rose petal on top of the cocktail for garnish.
