Notes

To achieve the best flavor balance, ensure all syrups are well-chilled. The rose syrup can be quite potent; start with the recommended amount and adjust to taste, as too much can overpower the other delicate fruit notes. Using freshly made strawberry coulis and rhubarb syrup will elevate the drink significantly. Always use good quality crushed ice to ensure proper dilution and a consistently cold beverage without watering it down too quickly. For an extra refreshing touch, pre-chill your highball glass before mixing.
