Oh, hi. Yeah, new here. Anyway, I have an ingredient to play with... rose syrup. I picked it up at an Asian grocery store. It's just simple syrup (sugar), flavored with roses and a smidge of red food coloring. So now I'm playing with recipes for it, and looking for more ideas.

My first attempt with it was with Trader Vic's Spiced Rum, pineapple juice, and a couple of drops of Angostura Bitters. It was pretty good, but I'm sure it could be better. Any suggestions on ingredients I could try? Something that might be a good contrast?

Also, I'd like to be able to make something in quantity... a whole bottle of rum, however much rose syrup, and other ingredients, for a party. I could do with a couple of rums or some gin or something too.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
