Kinda tastes like fancy-ass Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Which is a good thing.


Enjoyed it but tasted pretty like a Julepto me!

  • Juicy, fresh, and absolutely delicious
  • Delicious. Froth from pineapple and vanilla make for a creamy sensation. Next time I’ll muddle more rosemary—that kind of got lost. — ★★★★

That's a whole lotta rosewater - I'm wondering how it doesn't come across like your grandmother's washed your mouth out with soap. I think that Hendricks might be a good sub for the gin if you can't find Uncle Val's.

Thanks,

Zachary


Hendrick's is definitely a good substitute, though Val's is even more cucumber-intensive. And the rosewater gave me pause as well; I thought maybe she was using a particularly dilute example, but the brand she links to is as intense as any.
