4 1/2 for me too. Such a great flavour combo, I liked it very much. I found it a lot to drink on my own, I usually only drink gf juice in very small quantities. But I can picture myself sipping on this over ice in the summer, with a splash of mineral water and perhaps that vodka that some others mentioned ;). I think it would be a big hit at our next BBQ get together. Thanks CG! -
Very nice! I did double the rose water. I drank about half of the drink (to 6 oz) and then added 1 oz of vodka (hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, right) and that was awesome too. So the morale of the story is that you can turn this recipe into 2 cocktails by adding 2 oz of vodka :) Thanks for sharing this great, refreshing drink! -
4 1/2 stars. Nice twist but my fresh grapefruit I squeezed was kind of bitter but that can be corrected. The grapefruit I used was called red, it looked pink to me. Made for Veggie Swap 24 ~ July 2010 ~ -
Truly outstanding! Wonderful oriental twist, which we, especially me, enjoyed. And who says one can't add a measure of vodka in it?
