quince, pomegranate & rosewater martini


This cocktail is truly luscious. The flavours are sweet and floral while still retaining significant tartness from the fresh pomegranate juice.

It was served alongside a few amuse bouches at a dinner party back in June.

I highly recommend this to start or finish any Middle Eastern themed evening, or when you're home alone and need to pamper yourself with a little luxury.

Quince, Pomegranate & Rosewater Martini

Anna’s recipe. Makes 4.


Ingredients:
300ml fresh pomegranate juice
1½ tablespoons quince paste
½ teaspoon rosewater
100ml Genever (or gin)
45ml Cointreau

Method:

1. Heat quince paste and pomegranate juice until quince paste dissolves. Chill.
2. In a cocktail shaker, shake all ingredients with ice. Strain into martini glasses and serve immediately.

Merry Christmas everyone!
