The Garden Rose is a modern cocktail that was created at Gitano Jungle Room in New York City, New York. The original recipe is for a shaken drink that uses tequila, elderflower liqueur, citrus, rose water, and a muddled strawberry, but this Novel Nightcaps original variation calls for an incredible strawberry syrup in place of the muddled fruit and tops it all with sparkling wine for more complexity.

Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer, strain into a coupe glass.
Top with sparkling wine.
Cut small strawberry into a rose.
Garnish with strawberry rose.
