Review

Bite-sized and delicately flavoured – the combination of redcurrant syrup and kirsch is almost rose water-like, diluted by dry vermouth with a splash of gin adding botanical complexity.

the problem is every one uses dry vermouth when they should use Dolin blanc, also DO NOT shake this cocktail it is much better stirred. you need black forest style kirsch and i like Empress Elderflower Rose Gin but i also have a weird syrup i use called Rooh Afza is a rose syrup. try it with those ingrediencies and you will be happy it will taste like a watermelon jolly rancher.

The Rose has 3 of the 5 ingredients in this and tastes almost the same, and I think it tastes slightly better
