Rose Gin and Tonic

Before making my own Rose Syrup a few weeks back, I didn’t realise I liked rose syrup so much! But I do, and it’s not only because I made it with the roses blooming in our garden. It has this delicate, elegant flavour to it. It works wonders in cocktails such as The Villanelle and Pink Rosé Daiquiri, but this refreshing Rose Gin and Tonic allows it to shine on its delectable own! Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

4 ice cubes

1 thin slice of lemon

1 1/2 tablespoon Rose Syrup

30 mililitres/1 fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) god quality chilled gin

chilled tonic water (like Schweppes)

Place ice cubes in a glass. Add lemon slice, and pour in Rose Syrup and chilled gin. Top with tonic water, give a gentle stir.

Enjoy Rose Gin and Tonic immediately!

So,

I'm at this hotel that's basically a house and it has a gin room and a whisky room! These two are my fave that are from the gin room! (if there's any Irish people following me, you'd love these!!)

Today is National Gin & Tonic day

My kind of day

In honor of said holiday Im trying Irish made Glendalough Irish Rose Gin

Straight up it actually tastes like flower petals with a bite- I dont mean just floral- but like if you have eaten a hibiscus petal? Then you understand what Im describing.

Not bad.

Good holiday.

Good gin.

Casments 2023 Advent Calendar Day 14: Dingle Gin with house made tonic. One of the best gins in the world. If you've never tried a tonic syrup rather than canned tonic, you should it out. Or try making your own! Let's avoid scurvy and malaria. Love 9.5/10.

Casments 2023 Advent Calendar Day 11: Cocktail time! Negroni made with Glendalough Wild Bontanicsl Gin, Dolin Sweet vermouth, and Camapri. Hand-foraged botanicals give flavor to this gin. Bitter like my soul. Lovely. 9/10.

Casements Advent Calendar Day 23: Bertha's Revenge Irish Milk Gin is main spirit today. It uses whey in the process. This was a cocktail kit to make a negroni with Campari and Bresca Dorada, a Sardinian vermouth using myrtle. Garnish with orange. I get curry strangely. Quite interesting. 8/10.

Casements Advent Calendar Day 20: Glendalough Gin with house made cardamom tonic. Great gin day! They forage all the botanicals except the juniper. 8.5/10.
