Review

A floral riff on a classic Cosmopolitan. The quality of rose liqueur used makes or breaks this romantically themed cocktail.

14th February 2026 is Valentine's Day

Based on vodka in place of gin this becomes a Rude Sweetheart.

It is Mothers Day here, I made it with a choc heart on the rim of a Martini glass, she likes it. Perfect!

Surprisingly balanced. I thought the extra cranberry and rose would make it too sweet, but it is delectable and delightful, perfect for Valentine's day.

Confounded my unsurprisingly low expectations. Not overly sweet, especially for such a generally gooey day.
