You smell rose water but taste gin, lime, cucumber and mint. A refreshing, summery cocktail

I must be missing something in the specification of this cocktail. The ingredients list calls for 8 mint leaves while the instructions call for a garnish involving a single mint leaf. Are the other 7 mint leaves part of the "other ingredients" specified in step 4? Also, step 2 says to prepare a garnish of "3 rose water, aromatic bitters and mint leaf." What does "3 rose water" mean? Three drops? Are the 3 ingredients specified in step 2 the same 3 ingredients referenced in step 6? Sorry for being obtuse.

As with all our recipes, the items specified for the garnish (mint leaf, rose water and bitters) are in addition to the items listed as ingredients.
