  • More unique than I expected. Great balance of florals, although rose was a bit lost. I added a dash on top as garnish and that brought it up to 5 for me.
  • 4.5 if I could. Tasty and floral; rosewater stands out
  • Very enjoyable. I think this would be a good candidate for a tequila gently infused with jalapeno or chipotle chiles.
  • nice. very easy drink. i'll put a touch more rosewater in next time.
  • Made with creme de violette instead of rose water since I had it on hand. Lovely and tasty.

I just made this for the first time in many months, and it really is good- the cucumber and St. Germain make for such a refreshing way to drink tequila (which I admittedly don't tend to gravitate towards, but tonight was Rick Bayless night....)
