To The Stars
Rose-infused cocktails? Say what? With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I’m excited to partner up with Gran Gala to bring you the perfect cocktail recipe for that date night with your significant other.
If you’re not familiar with Gran Gala, it’s a blend of Italian VSOP brandy infused with fresh oranges. I figured this would pair really well with the floral aspect of rosebud tea, zestiness from fresh squeezed lemon and bringing it all together with a rich coconut cream.
Check out the recipe below!

The Pink Pony Club comes from Leandro DiMonrova (@theeducatedbarfly), and it’s built specifically for Waterloo Gin’s Prickly Pear & Rose expression. This gin starts with their award-winning No. 9 Gin base and infuses it with prickly pear fruit, citrus, rose petals, and soft floral botanicals. Those flavors don’t just sit in the glass—they anchor the whole cocktail. Strawberry syrup, Campari, fresh lemon juice, and an egg white create brightness and structure. The result is pink, balanced, and genuinely delicious. Plus, during October, Waterloo Gin supports Susan G. Komen, so this drink means something beyond the coupe.
Cheers, y’all!
