This Parfait Amour Gulab cocktail was inspired by the Indian dessert Gulab Jamun. Gulab means “rose” in Hindi, and the dessert is a delicate pastry that is sweetened with rose and honey. The grenadine and Parfait Amour bring out the sweetness, and the neutral base of the vodka as a background really helps to highlight the floral essence.
