Hey Kludge, we have 3 things in common:

1. New to posting here
2. Spotted Rose Syrup in an Asian Grocers and thought "I can do something with that"
3. Wasted good booze trying to make it work :)

Anyways...I have 2 drinks that others seem to find 'work'. First is Turkish Delight. UK readers should be thinking "Frys" right now, as Fry's Turkish Delight is what it tastes like, as was intended. 1 part Kahlua, 1 part Creme de Cacao, 1/2 part Rose Syrup.

I spent ages trying to find something else to work with Rose Syrup, I find it one of those overpowering flavours that really kills a drink. Rather than ruin perfectly good rum (though reading about Orgeat & Coconut I think a White Rum could be tried here, thanks!) I next moved on to Gin. Eventually called Gin'll Fix It (again, a name UK folk should 'get'): 2 parts Gin, 1/2 part Orange, 1/2 part Lemon, 1/4 part Rose Syrup, dash Orange Bitters. Of the two, this is one I actually enjoy.

Further Rosey delights anyone?
