TGIF: Rose Water Cocktail
Posted by Hayley French on
This refreshingly light and undoubtedly pretty cocktail requires fresh grapefruit juice and an easy to make rose water syrup to create. We love using multipurpose ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen (or makeup cupboard!). Rose water isn't just for your complexion; it's a fragrant addition to baked goods and beverages. Enjoy this drink during the last days of summer and have a Happy Labour Day weekend!
