Delicate rose water (a common ingredient in Middle Eastern sweets) and tart lemonade are a refreshing combination in this pretty pink drink. Ice cubes studded with flowers and berries add a stunning finishing touch to this big-batch cocktail fit for any celebration.

Cooks' Note

Rose water is available in the Middle Eastern section of specialty food shops or online. For clearer ice cubes, boil water first, then let cool.
