As I was drinking my long time favourite drink, which is Rose Rush..I encountered some greek history on Rose. The Rose is a flower of Love. It was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers, from a lifeless body of a nymph which she found one day in a clearing in the woods. She asked the help of Aphrodite, the goddess of love who gave her beauty ; Dionysus, the god of wine, added nectar to give her a sweet scent, and the three Graces gave her charm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr, the West Wind, blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and make the flower bloom. And so the Rose was born.
Amazing facts. But you have to taste it to feel the whole rose thing. Lene brought like a dozen to my house, cause you cant find Rose Rush around KL unless you hit the clubs and I'm not sure whether all clubs sells this. Singapore product but widely selling in the UK tho. The beverage has an attractive appearance : clear and slightly viscous. On the nose there are good rose aromatics, which persist through the palate. The sweetness and thickness on the body may be quite agressive initially but are perfect with ice. On the finish the slightly bitter notes of crushed roses come through, adding a touch of extra interest.
Haha..I'm promoting for them. Oh well. 10 cans to go.
On a Rose Rush,
