The Glacier Rose cocktail is cold, clean, and quietly dramatic. At first glance, it looks soft and delicate - pale pink, almost romantic - but the flavor tells a sharper story. Sipsmith London Dry Gin lays down a crisp botanical base, while pepper schnapps brings an immediate rush of coolness that feels icy rather than sweet. Strawberry syrup rounds things out with gentle fruitiness, adding color and balance without turning the drink sugary.

This cocktail walks a fine line between refreshing and indulgent. The mint cuts straight through the strawberry, keeping the palate clean and bright from start to finish. Served straight up in a chilled coupe, The Glacier Rose feels precise and controlled - cool in both temperature and attitude. It’s a great choice when you want something elegant, refreshing, and just a little unexpected.

Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. Shaking sharpens the mint, chills the drink fast, and keeps the finish crisp.
