Introducing Rose Elixir! The Floral Elixir Co. announces luxurious Floral Elixirs to accent champagne, spirits and sodas




Looking for a way to liven up your cocktail menu? Floral Elixir Company has the solution for you! Founded by Nora Egger, Floral Elixir Company uses the finest floral extracts and blends them with a touch of real cane sugar to create innovative and interesting flavors to add to beverages! I recently had the opportunity to try the Rose Elixir, and I was delighted with the results! Created with Damask Rose Extract, this tasty treat can easily be added to any number of beverages, from champagne, to tea, to mixed drinks, and more! It works especially well with vodka, rum, and bourbon based cocktails, so I tried it mixed with bourbon and soda, and was very impressed! First of all, it gave the drink a very pretty rose-colored tinge, and second of all, the light rose flavor was a surprisingly perfect compliment to the bourbon. The flavors blended beautifully together, and the result was a unique and classy cocktail! Highly recommended!


Bartenders use a basic simple sugar syrup in many of their fabulous concoctions. Elixir has a wonderful replacement that will make for superlative creative cocktails, with flavors that sing. Not to be limited by mere alcohol, Rose Elixir is fantastic for topping desserts, too. Think rose petals and champagne. Think baked apples and subtle aromas rising from the oven, over a blend of seasonal spice mixes. Use the Rose Elixir in cocktails, too, but be expansive in your culinary horizons. Just a touch of English rose will top off any creme, or mousse au chocolat. Let the Rose Elixir add a thrill of Spring to any dish, and your palate will love the ever-so-tender taste.

Who doesn't love gourmet handcrafted cocktails? You know the ones found only at the swankiest bars. Well now you can enjoy world class cocktails using Floral Elixir. These amazing handcrafted Elixirs use only the finest floral ingredients and pure cane sugar. Just a small splash will transform your average cocktail. You can also use Floral Elixir to make dessert, sauces and dressing. I love the intoxicating smell and flavor of the Damascan Rose Floral Elixir. Over 5,000 petals are used to make just one drop. Try it with champagne to create a Rose Kir Royal, or my favorite recipe Rose Floral Elixir splashed into vodka and soda.

With summer on the way, one cannot help but to think about sipping fabulous cocktails by the pool or your beach hosue. Now add to the experience by making your loved one a special  drink with Floral Elixir’s Rose flavored mixer. Not only does it add incredible aroma and sensual fragrance, but it creates a pinkish sweet color as well. I tried adding a couple of drops to an ice cold bottle of Pinot Gris. I loved that it did not over power the flavor of the wine but enhanced it creating even more interesting notes. The perfect way to spice things up and show someone you care. Forget the strawberries and grab a bottle of the Rose Elixir.
