Review:

In its simplest form, this is a Daiquiri with added triple sec and rose water - or a Margarita with rum. Whatever, it's a good balance of sweet and sour.

Very enjoyable and refreshing.
Since this is a cocktail using rum, we use Clement Creole Shrub instead of Triple Sec.
Found the rose flavour to be subtle at first, and then more noticeable once the cocktail rested.

Light and fresh summer afternoon / evening cocktail. Hint of rose at the end, which you must like. Unusual.

Just made this with orange blossom water as I didn't have rose water and it sure was good.

I liked this one. Basically a Rum Margarita as was described. Nicely balanced with a hint of Rose water at the end. Will definitely be making these during the summer months.

Not having rose water I swapped the cane sugar syrup out and used the rose syrup that I'd purchased for the Rosalia Margarita recipe. A tasty little number with a delicate pink hue.

Will make Sharon, but will use 1/2-3/4oz of lime juice instead of a full ounce, as it overpowers the rose water.
