Beginning with Rose Day and ending with Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Week is a time to celebrate love through small, everyday acts. How about making two glasses of a rose-infused drink to celebrate Rose Day? From Rose & Cardamom Lassi to Iced Rose Lemonade, here’s how you can transform everyday drinks into lovable experiences, in keeping with the enduring symbolism of roses.
Every day of Valentine’s Week is meant for a delightful mini-celebration with your partner or crush you’re trying to impress. The rose, an everlasting symbol of love, is commonly given as a gift but can also be enjoyed on its own. Rose makes any dish more elegant and festive when combined with other flavours, such as acidic berries, citrus, or creamy dairy.
This guide will help you elevate your Rose Day with five rose-infused beverages, be it a refreshing glass of lassi or a hot, freshly brewed latte, that are more than simply drinks; they’re exquisite bouquets in a glass. So, are you prepared to fall slowly but surely in love?
This refreshing beverage is a modern take on the classic lassi, combining the lusciousness of yoghurt with the delicate sweetness of rose syrup and the spicy warmth of cardamom. Ideal for a Valentine’s Day treat in the middle of the day, it is both refreshing and decadent. To make it lighter, you can use honey instead of sugar. Pour into tall glasses and garnish with dried flowers and crushed pistachios for a café-style presentation. Make sure to chill before serving.
Iced rose lemonade, with its bright and cheery flavours, is the perfect beverage for a carefree lunch date. Light, refreshing, and energising, this drink is a perfect blend of lemon’s tang and roses’ floral undertones. This rose-infused drink is perfect for Valentine's Week but also suitable for any social event, as it appeals to adults and kids equally. Blend in some fresh strawberries or add a splash of pomegranate juice for more brightness. Add a splash of fizz with sparkling water and finish with mint sprigs and lemon slices for a beautiful garnish.
Nothing shouts “luxury” more than a bubbly toast to end the day. Light, naturally sweet, and aesthetically beautiful, this mocktail is ideal for a late Rose Day dinner. Sparkling water or non-alcoholic cider with a hint of rose water makes for a festive drink with a layered flavour profile. Blend fresh strawberries or raspberries, a little rose water, and a squeeze of lime, then top with soda water, and your drink is ready to enjoy.
A daytime Valentine’s Day plan can be a hit with this refreshing combination of rose and hibiscus drink. Toss in some rose water and a teaspoon of honey with cooled hibiscus tea. In addition to being rich in antioxidants, this deep pink beverage has a tangy, floral flavour. Make it Instagram-worthy by serving it in mason jars and garnishing with rose petals and a lime wedge. For a gentler flavour, you can also start with green tea instead of hibiscus tea and add an interesting texture by stirring in some basil seeds.
This delicately scented latte is perfect for a cosy, intimate evening in. In a pot of hot milk (dairy or vegan), add rose syrup and a shot of espresso or strong black tea. Whisk in the rose syrup after heating the milk and brewing strong black tea or espresso. Pour the frothy mixture over the base. Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla and indulge in this fragrant, calming beverage alongside chocolate-dipped cookies for relaxation.
Rose-infused drinks bring an air of refined elegance to the simple acts of love celebrated throughout Valentine’s Week. The scent of roses permeates every glass, making each drink feel special. For the most flavourful experience, use edible rose petals, pistachios, and fresh fruit as garnishes. Whether you’re treating yourself, a friend, or a loved one, these rose-infused drinks can help you create a lasting impression. Celebrate life’s tiny pleasures with a toast to love, beauty, and the little things.
