Author Notes

As far as films go, you won’t find one more acclaimed or revered than Citizen Kane. This vodka-based cocktail, which has light, floral notes of rosewater and fresh mint and cucumber flavors, is based on the film’s iconic mystery: the meaning behind “rosebud.” We won’t give away the ending, but we will recommend giving the film a watch while sipping on this drink. —Food52

Test Kitchen Notes

This was developed by our partner Cointreau and is featured in the story, Create Your Own Hollywood-Inspired Cocktail & Win a Trip to Cannes. —The Editors
