I will cut the rose water in half. Otherwise, it tends to cover everything. Might just be the rose water I have.

I notice that this method uses a standard dry shake instead of the usual reverse dry shake stated in other methods. What is the background to this, Simon?

I tend to prefer a reverse dry shake, but sometimes, I honour the method in the creator's original spec. I have changed the above to fit my usual preference.

Oh this is just heavenly. Did t have any rose water so I used rose liqueur instead. Doesn’t make a bit of difference. This is so good. I’ve yet to be disappointed by any of your cocktails Simon!

Many thanks, Sean. A 20-year-old recipe that I've just revisited and upgraded to move from honey to homemade honey syrup. Much easier to handle and measure

I’ll reduce the honey a little next time.
