Instructions
For the pomegranate-rose simple syrup:

Step 1

In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the unsweetened pomegranate juice, the Redpath® Golden Yellow Sugar, and the Redpath® Granulated Sugar. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugars.

Step 2

Remove from heat, and stir in the rose water. Start with a ½ teaspoon (2 ml) and add more to taste. Ladle into a clean, sanitized glass jar or container. Place into the fridge to chill completely.

Step 3

When chilled, seal with lid. Keep in the fridge until needed.

For the cocktail:

Step 1

Pour ½ cup (125 ml) of prosecco (or sparkling wine) into four champagne glasses or flutes.

Step 2

Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) of the pomegranate-rose simple syrup into each cocktail. If desired, sprinkle and gently swirl in a small amount of edible glitter into each cocktail.

Step 3

Garnish with pomegranate arils and/or rose petals (fresh or dried) before serving.
