Now that, ladies and gents, is a libation. I spotted this 'giggly rose' on the blog <a href="http://mrjasongrant.blogspot.com/">'mrjasongrant'</a> the other day and just had to know more. I love roses presented in unique ways - mostly olfactively rather than visually, (have you not smelled <a href="http://store.lelabofragrances.com/index.php?cPath=34_56">'Rose31' </a>by Le Labo??), but a rose I could drink?

Jason kindly provided the ingredients for this wonderous concoction:

<ul>
<li>mint leaves</li>
<li>rose syrup</li>
<li>rose petals</li>
<li>gordon's gin</li>
<li>lemon</li>
<li>yarra valley sparkling from <a href="http://thegazebos.com.au/winery/index.html">the winery</a></li>
</ul>

Don't forget the rose to garnish...this sounds like the perfect summer drink. I am adding it to my wishlist for this years summer BBQ!
