Ras Malai Cocktail

This exotic rose & cardamom cocktail is subtle and seductive, with notes of cardamom, orange peel and rose. Crafted to pair perfectly with Jaisalmer gin.

The Cardamom Rose Cocktail is a romantic cocktail made with a homemade rose simple syrup, fresh citrus, and bitters ~ it's got a gorgeous pink color!

This fusion Ras Malai cocktail is not only the perfect drink for this festive season but also a great way to use up the milk from the ras malai. Ras Malai is an Indian dessert made of paneer that is shaped into small balls and soaked into a sweet milk. Now you can use store bought or homemade for this recipe, but this is a great way of repurposing the milk from dessert! 

The mix of @jaisalmergin and milk mixture from ras malai results in the smoothest and sweetest cocktail you’ll have this diwali season. The gin really plays a huge role in this cocktail, the sweet notes of an orange peel, cardamon and juniper berries really creates a smooth yet refreshing taste. 

The best part about this recipe is you can use store bought ras malai, and make a batch of this drink ahead of time and store it in a pitcher or tumbler. When ready to serve, shake it up and serve over ice.
