I love the smell of roses and everything everyone suggested using roses. As far as coming up with a name for Cynthia’s drink, this is all I have, “Roses 4-ever yours.” Enjoy all of the delicious rose treats!

1 oz lime juice
1/2 oz lemon juice
1 oz rose syrup
1/2 oz orgeat
1 oz light aged rum
1 oz medium aged rum

Shake with crushed ice. Serve in old-fashioned glass, garnish with pineapple leaves and a flower.

Thanks ladies!
Miss you

Oh Miss, you always know all the things! I’m going to have to make cake soon now.

Also, glad to hear that you had a good sleep. Venus turns direct on the 24th I think, I might be ready for a new batch by then…

Add a few drops of rosewater to cream before you whip it. Make a citrus or vanilla cake and “soak” it in syrup. Adding a few drops of the rosewater to most anything chocolate ) cakes, puddings, truffles, etc. will have people asking for your recipes. If you use wool dryer balls, pour or spray a little on them before you throw them in. Spray on your pillow or intimate apparel or any apparel for a delicate floral undertone that won’t overwhelm.
Make your next batch under an auspicious Venus election and then you can use it anytime to call in beauty, love, and sweetness to life! (sorry, I’ve had a great night of sleep and some coffee!)
