Frankenshake version... 50 ml The Botanist, 5 ml Rothman & Winter Peach (apricot would've been better), 5 ml rose hip spread, 2.5 ml each rose water and rich simple... not enough sweetness, too much rose water.. Of course, I don't mind revealing my disappointing experiments for your consideration.

That bit of apricot really rounds this out. Tasty right down to the last of the glass which was quite warm.

Delicious. I found the Rose Water readily at a local Persian grocery. Giffards for the syrup. Wonder how long I can keep it in the fridge?

The syrup could be good for a couple of months if kept in the fridge.
