A Sweet Honey Rose cocktail to get your weekend started the right way.
Okay, real talk. Who else needs this weekend?
I SO need this weekend. It’s not even that I’m getting to relax this weekend, but I just really need this weekend. I also really need one of these Sweet Honey Rose cocktails. They’re sweet, SO floral, and downright tasty.
The start of spring has me wanting EVERYTHING floral. Like floral desserts, floral cocktails, floral snacks..the list goes on. It may still be near freezing temps here in Boston, but the first day of Spring has come and gone and it means that warmer weather is hopefully on the horizon.
If it could just be floral everything all the time, I’d be happy. I’d fill my room with freshly cut flowers, I’d have floral recipes on deck each week – it might be a bit of overkill, but I’d welcome it with open arms.
While that may be entirely over the top, I DO have a floral cocktail for you to enjoy this weekend! It’s got honey, botanical gin, and fresh rose buds – just to name a few ingredients. It’s easy to make, to boot! All you have to do is shake everything up in a tumbler and pour it over ice. Talk about an easy cocktail, right?

These are gorgeous!!!
They look so beautiful! Is it the colour of the glasses making the drinks and ice cubes have such a pretty hue? Thanks!!
Looks yummy! It probably has something to do with those gorgeous glasses- where ever do I get those?!
This drink recipe looks so beautiful, and I am guessing it tastes delicious! I would love to use one picture from this post, with a link back and possible inclusion in a collage for a monthly favorites post I am writing. If you do not want me to use one, please let me know and I will be happy to remove it! xoxo
How did you get those colors? Reading the ingredients, the drinks should have a pink hue, depending on the grapefruit juice you use. Could you please explain?
Hi, Monique – great question! If I remember correctly, the grapefruits I used were closer to white grapefruits. And, the colors you’re seeing here are from the glasses! Because the mix was nearly clear, it almost appears as if the drinks absorbed the color of the glass 🙂
