Rose water is noticeable on the nose, while the palate offers gin, lime, cucumber, and mint. A refreshing, summery cocktail.

This drink is based on a recipe that Toby Maloney created around 2007 at The Violet Hour, a bar in Chicago. It was later included in his 2022 book, The Bartender's Manifesto.
