Lepkowski infuses her rye with cacao nibs, black pepper, ginger, and other botanicals; recipe at link. Alternatively, a dash of chocolate bitters in combination with the oloroso sherry produces a dry chocolate-y effect.
Dry shake, shake, fine strain into a highball over ice, top with soda, garnish with bitters.
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.
Crack coffee beans without pulverizing them and infuse in Ramazzotti for 24 hours before straining and bottling. To serve, pour 2 oz of mixture over a rock and garnish with an expressed lemon peel.
Shake well with lots of ice, garnish with orange slices, pineapple, and berries in season. Serve with straw.

First sip surprised me, I was expecting an exotic cough syrpu...I'd try it next time without the additional simple syrup.
Also, it makes a good base for a shot of gin...I used Sapphire East, re-stirred the whole shootin' match with ice, then put it into my antique up glass. Less sweet, more booze.
we did a blend of amaro (including amargo-vallet) and this was a tasty cocktail.
