Desert Rose

Description
Vibrant and zesty, the Desert Rose blends the tart flavours of grapefruit juice with the agave kick of tequila and the subtle sweetness of rose petal liqueur.
This is my personal take on the Desert Rose recipe. A splash of agave syrup for sweetness and a hint of grapefruit for acidity reminds me of the starkness and beauty of the desert landscape.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz or 60 ml blanco tequila or mezcal
- 2 oz or 60 ml Grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz or 15 ml Rose petal liqueur
- 1/2 oz or 15 ml Agave syrup
- Ice cubes
- Salt for rimming the glass (optional)
- Lime (for garnish)
Instructions

Notes
The Desert Rose cocktail showcases tequila’s versatility beyond the traditional lime and salt. If you prefer a smokier agave take on this cocktail, use mezcal instead.
