Kiss From A Rose – A gin cocktail as smooth as Seal’s voice

You can hear it, can’t you? Just like the silky song stuck in your head right now, the Kiss From A Rose gin cocktail will dance across your taste buds like an cupid on Valentine’s Day. It’s a twist on the classic whiskey sour cocktail but with gin and strawberries. What’s Valentine’s Day without strawberries?

The Kiss from a Rose cocktail starts with Benedict’s Rose & Raspberry Gin. With a refreshingly sweet palate and beautiful pink blush, the latest member of the Benedict’s family will turn you into a hopeless romantic with just one sip. Their multi-award-winning master distiller recommends that this premium gin should best be enjoyed with a small handful of pomegranates and fresh mint. 

However, the Kiss from a Rose cocktail still heroes the Benedict’s Rose & Raspberry Gin to it’s full potential. The sugar syrup is easy to make with equal parts water and sugar, dissolved in simmering water and stored in a glass bottle. This recipe is sweet and beautiful, giving you the best date night cocktail anybody could ask for.
