IBA ContemporaryClassic

Rose is an IBA Contemporary Classic that combines gin, dry vermouth, apricot brandy, lemon juice, grenadine, and powdered sugar into a balanced, complex, and subtly fruity cocktail. The apricot brandy and grenadine provide gentle fruit sweetness, while the dry vermouth and lemon juice add dryness and acidity to prevent the drink from tipping too sweet. It is a refined, jewel-toned cocktail that reflects the elegance of golden-age cocktail craftsmanship.

History & Origins

Rose was created by Johnny Mitta at the Chatham Hotel in Paris and published in various early 20th-century cocktail manuals, gaining IBA Contemporary Classic status as recognition of its enduring quality and historical significance. It is one of several fruit-and-gin classics from the interwar period that used apricot brandy as a prominent ingredient. The exact dating and full story of its creation is partially disputed in the historical record.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Dry gin botanicals, sweet apricot, floral grenadine, and a bright lemon note with a dry vermouth herbal complexity. Palate: A well-balanced interplay of gin's botanical dryness, the rich sweet stone-fruit character of the apricot brandy, the gentle pomegranate sweetness of the grenadine, and the clean acidity of the lemon; the powdered sugar smooths the edges. Finish: Dry and moderately long with fruit and botanical notes intertwined.

Pro Tip

Shake vigorously with large ice cubes and strain into a thoroughly pre-chilled cocktail glass, as the delicate balance of this six-ingredient drink is most apparent when served at the correct, very cold temperature.
