This looks really refreshing. I have never used rose water, though I'm seeing it in more recipes recently. Do you get it in the \”drinks\” section of the store? Maybe near where you'd find grenadine?

What a beautiful cocktail! I just wish I liked gin! It's a long story but just suffice it to say it had something to do with my younger days and too much of a good thing. My husband really likes the Hendricks brand.
