Peck suggests an unusual, dramatic and romantic cocktail that combines the perfume of rose petals infused with black tea and the pure taste of vodka.
Ingredients for 1 person:
One half black, rose-perfumed tea
One half unperfumed vodka (Absolut)
A few red rose petals
Brew a good rose tea for 5 minutes; cool it by quickly passing through ice.
Mix the cold tea and vodka, maintaining the proportions.
Serve in a balloon glass (such as for brandy) and decorate with three rose petals.
