Remember this? Well it turned into a delicious liquor... just a hint of rose petals and lavender with a deep minty flavor. It is good enough to sip over ice (or with a splash of club soda if you prefer). I also thought it might make a nice Mojito-style cocktail to further enhance flavors. I started with a basic Mojito recipe (found here) and then substituted rose petal liquor for the rum. I'll admit that the first time I "crushed" the mint leaves, I went a little beyond bruising them to release the juices. The resulting cocktail was filled with tiny floating bits of mint... not what I had in mind (it was drinkable... so not all was lost!). After learning how to properly muddle the mint, I was in business! This really worked well with the nice flavors of the liquor. I didn't get quite enough of a rose petal flavor with this batch (next year I think I might try just rose petals and lavender?), but I'm excited to break into the other batch (coming soon!).
