Raspberry Rosewater Cocktail
A sweet and aromatic raspberry rosewater cocktail that is perfect for celebrating any special occasion, especially the start of Summer!
Oh hey there Raspberry Rosewater Cocktail. Is it 5 o’clock yet?
Wait, I should say hello there friends first before getting all up in this drink’s business! I feel like it’s been a while since we last chatted. Sorry about being away so much recently. It’s the student part of this student baking life that has dominated for the past few weeks. But I hope you did not miss me too much. My amazing blogging friends were serving up delicious baked goods while I was gone. I’m sure you are now following along on their blogs to keep in touch. Thank you very much dear friends. I heart you ๐
Ok this cocktail peeps. This fruity aromatic cocktail is EXACTLY how I love my drinks (Yes, I am a girly girl when it comes to cocktails but I’m sure you guessed that already!). And after my recent weeks of nerdy science things, it was exactly what I needed to toast the end of a long study session. Oh and also usher in officially the start of summer!! Heeelllloo short skirts ๐
At the recent Pinnacle Cocktail Club party, I noticed the pairing of Pinnacle’s signature “Escape to Paris” cocktail with French desserts like eclairs and macarons. As I was munching on these sweet treats, I noted how delightful the rosewater macaron tasted with the hints of raspberry in the cocktail I was sipping. My recipe creative mind was spinning as I chatted with some new-found friends that night and I couldn’t help but wonder how amazing rosewater will pair with berries in a cocktail. As soon as I got back home, I experimented with rosewater in cocktails and created this berrylicious raspberry rosewater cocktail. And it was indeed AMAZING. A flavorful, aromatic and sweet cocktail, perfect for any girl’s night in or out or special celebration.
As you gather with your loved ones this long holiday weekend, make sure you break out the cocktails to celebrate. I think any gathering with family and loved ones is worth celebrating because we don’t do it nearly enough with the busy everyday schedules we all tend to live. This weekend, my bestie and maid-of-honor is coming to visit and I am so excited to see her after a few long months apart. You know I’ll be whipping up this raspberry rosewater cocktail for us as we catch up on our lives and boys of course ๐
So whip this cocktail up this Memorial Day weekend as you celebrate gathering with family, friends and loved ones!

Thanks Liz!!
Zainab, this sounds wonderful and I love that you used rosewater. What a beautiful color! Thanks for sharing and pinning! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you Cindy!! I hope you are having a great day ๐
Love these pictures!! That drink looks so elegant! Definitely pinned ๐
Thanks Leah ๐
Wow this drink looks really good right about now..love the combination of flavors!
Thanks Meghan!! PS: I am replying to your email today. I can’t wait to meet you ๐
Beautiful drink! Makes me wish I was more of a drinker, I tend to stick with a little wine and that’s about it.
how was your presentation????? Hope it went super well!
Sally thanks! The presentation went well. My boss thought it was great…my best one ever but I thought I could have done better. Tripped up on a few microarray questions that I was not happy about. But overall I think it was good. The department professors were all pleased and congratulated me so I guess that was good ๐ As you said yesterday, we are our own worst critiques lol!
Awesome! So good to have that over! I had a very bad experience giving a seminar at Asilomar that caused me to freeze in front of the audience. I don’t wish that to my worst enemy. Took me years to get over it, and it is still something that haunts me.
anyway, congrats on one more great accomplishment!
Happy you are back Zainab! Although, your friends had great posts too ๐ This cocktail looks lovely, especially the use of rosewater. Can totally see my sisters and I drinking this on our deck this summer. Thanks girl!
Thanks Kelly! And thank you for being here with my guests while I was gone…you are the best ๐ You and your sister will totally enjoy these!
I absolutely love new ways to use rosewater, and this is the first time I have ever seen it used in a cocktail! Paired with raspberry, it sounds just wonderful. I’m definitely going to use this recipe a lot this summer!
I love rosewater. Before i was always pairing it with chocolate and now…a whole new world is open. I can’t wait to explore more. Thank you again so much dear for helping me make it through this past week ๐
This cocktail is such a beautiful color, and that flavor combination sounds delicious, Zainab! Of course you were missed around here, but it was fun checking out all of your friends’ recipes, too! Hope school is going well. ๐
Thanks Marcie!! Thank you so much for visiting while I was away…I have so much to catch up on over on your blog! I am going to the Farmer’s market this weekend and I know I need to check out your post before I head out ๐ You doing any rhubarb soon? I was hoping to grab some.
You read my mind — I am planning on rhubarb for Friday! I have a [strawberry orange rhubarb pie|http://flavorthemoments.com/strawberry-orange-rhubarb-pie/] on my blog from last year, too. ๐
