Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 strips orange zest
1 handful of rinsed jasmine flowers, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup Vodka
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
Juice of 1 lemon

Directions:

Jasmine Syrup: Gently simmer the sugar, water, and lemon zest in a pot over medium heat for 2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Do not allow to boil or get dark. Put the jasmine in a glass container or bowl and pour the sugar syrup on top; steep for 1 to 2 hours to infuse the jasmine flavor into the syrup. In a martini shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, Grand Marnier, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons of the jasmine syrup. Shake until frothy and pour into martini glasses. Garnish with a jasmine flower in each glass.
