Those who have fallen in love with the scent of the iconic Baby Doll perfume from Yves Saint Laurent will appreciate knowing that they can experience an interpretation of the fragrance in drink form at 69 Colebrooke Row in London.
In a tribute to perfumer Ralf Schwieger, 69 Colebrooke Row set out to capture the essence of the perfume and in a sense, make it drinkable. The cocktail boasts delicately feminine aromatic ingredients like rose vodka, raspberry and violet syrup, bitters, champagne and grapefruit. In order to further play up the unique cocktail's ties to the cosmetic world, The Lipstick Rose is served with a stamp of homemade lipstick directly on the glass.
Now more than ever, bartenders across the world are captivating drinkers with scent through the integration of food-grade fragrances and aromatic ingredients.
