Veronica Rose Recipe

The veronica rose, from erick castro at san diegos polite provisions, is as lovely to behold as it is to sip not to mention to smell, with those heady scents of rose petals and citrus. Castros recipe calls for aperol, the sweetest and gentlest of the bitter citrus apritif. You can switch it out with a more bitter option, like campari, but youll probably need to tinker with the syrup proportions to make sure the flavor doesnt dominate over the rose. The original veronica rose recipe, as published in imbibe magazine, just called for sparkling wine, probably meaning a sparkling white. Weve also tried it with a dry sparkling ros and found it just as delicious.
