Stroo says as the ice melts, the rose flavours will increase and enhance the cherry notes of Maraschino as well as the floral notes of the bourbon!

Name of the Rose
Ingredients
- 50ml of Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon
- 25ml Luxardo Maraschino
- Three dashes of Abbott's Bitters (Angostura will do in a pinch)
- An oversized ice cube made from fresh brewed rose bud tea
- Garnish: A dried rose bud
Instructions
- Pour ingredients directly into an Old Fashioned tumbler
- Place the rose bud ice in and swirl as one would a whisky
- Garnish with a rose bud
Notes
The cocktail is still absolutely lovely (and super-simple to make!) even without the rose bud tea ice.
