25ml Gin
3 tsps of rose syrup
Tonic water (to taste)
2 lemon wedges
Ice
Edible rose petals to garnish (optional)

In a highball glass, build the ice, the gin, a squeeze of one of the lemon wedges and top with the tonic water (to taste). Finish by adding the lemon wedge and rose petals.

2. Rose Ginger Summer Fizz (Non-Alcoholic)

Sometimes mocktails can be overly sweet, but the ginger beer gives it a nice bite to balance it out and keep this drink refreshing.

Ingredients
Ice 
Soda water
Cranberry juice
1 tsp rose syrup 
Ginger beer or ale
Squeeze of a lemon
Edible dried rose petals (optional)

Method
Build the cocktail starting with the ice. Mix ingredients by stirring with a long spoon. Finish with a squeeze of lemon. Garnish with the rose petals.

3. Hibiscus Prosecco

Hibiscus is a delightfully floral way to jazz up cheap Prosecco or try something a little different from a Bellini.  You can either make your own Hibiscus syrup at home which will keep in an airtight jar for several weeks – or if that is just a little bit too DIY for you, it is available to buy. 
Best Spring Cocktails RecipeIngredients
1 tsp hibiscus syrup (or more to taste!)
125ml glass of prosecco
Edible flowers to garnish (optional)

Method
In a flute glass, add ½ a teaspoon of the hibiscus syrup. Tip the glass towards the bottle and slowly pour the Prosecco into the flute. Top with the edible flowers if using.

4. Lavender Lemon Martini

Lavender has got to be one of the nicest smelling flowers that spring brings - and just so happens to pair excellently with vodka - to bring you this excellent take on the martini cocktail.
