If you’re looking for a romantic cocktail, look no further! It doesn’t get more romantic than this unique and delicious, Rose Water Gin Cocktail!
We love making cocktails and we’re smitten over this 3 ingredient rose water cocktail. Each of the flavors are all very present in the cocktail and it’s a light and refreshing drink.
To get the floral and rosy flavor, we used rose water to create rosewater simple syrup! Simple syrup is a diluted sweetener and very simple (hence the name) to make! See step by step on making a simple syrup.
How to Make Rose Water Simple Syrup
- The rose water simple syrup is easy to make!
- Just simmer 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove and let it cool
- Add in 1 teaspoon of rose water… we used this one, which is great!
We also have a great guide to making simple syrups you can check out here!

Ingredients
- 1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 oz rose water simple syrup (see how to make below)
- 2 oz gin
- splash club soda
Instructions
- Add 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small pot and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Let it cool and add in 1 teaspoon rose water extract.
- Store the simple syrup in the refrigerator. If you’re serving right away add rose petals to the simple syrup for a beautiful presentation.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup and shake for more than 20 seconds so the ice can melt and dilute the ingredients.
- Add a splash of club soda if you prefer!
- Strain over a large ice cube and garnish with a lemon twist and rose petal.

I had some rosewater to use up and found this cocktail. I love it-it’s so refreshing!! Here are my hacks and twist on the original:
I use 1oz regular simple syrup, and float enough rosewater on top, to take it a little above the line.
I prefer lime with gin, but lemon is good too.
The gin I use is Empress–because it’s a gorgeous violet color and ever so slightly floral.
I put all the ingredients–except the club soda–in a shaker with ice.
Shake for 20-30 seconds.
Strain into chilled coupe glass and top with the club soda and a twist of lime rind.
Voila, it’s purple perfection!
