So far my favorite libation with rose water. Wheras it's not a subtle flavor it's most in balance here. While it leads at first the other ingredients emerge more fully as it warms and the end results were fabulous! Will do again. Soon. ☆☆☆☆☆♡

It tastes like soap... and the missus agrees!
First drink I've had that's so utterly bad that neither one of us is willing to finish it, went down the sink.
