I use rose syrup a lot. I like to use it drizzled over fresh fruit, in custard, on pancakes with fresh berries, in iced tea. T-party's Vintage Rose tea has roses in it and it would be lovely with the syrup. A favorite I make is a strawberries buttermilk smoothie with the rose syrup, yumm. But what I mostly use my syrup for is a rosy cocktail. I will be honest, I just eyeball the amounts (but I had to give you something to work with). So feel free to play with what you like. This rosey cosmopolitan is very refreshing on a hot day and it is pink !!!!!
Rosey Cosmopolitan
1 oz. vodka (although I only use 1/2 oz I am a wimp)
2 oz. unsweetened pink grapefruit juice
1 TBL. rose syrup
ice
Fill a cocktail shaker (so it will strain off the ice) half way with ice. Add vodka, juice and rose syrup. Shake well, pour in glass and garnish with a lovely rose !!!
PS. I forgot to say in the rose syrup recipe, to keep syrup refrigerated, unless you can it. 
Mmmm...sounds delish and looks even better!

Lovely! Since I happen to have some rose syrup (as I think you saw:) ), these are wonderful posts. Now I'll have some ideas as to what to do with it!

Oh my that sounds yummy!! Can you buy rose syrup? I don't think I have the patience for making it myself plus (blush) my roses aren't organic. :)

Well, I already like Greyhounds.
Vodka and grapefruit juice. So I bet I will like your drink. Sounds pretty good.
Thanks,
