Rock Rose Gin is sharing the love. This fine Scottish gin recently invited top bartenders to express their creativity by concocting cocktails that perfectly represented this fine Scottish gin, brimming with botanicals and made with love.<\/p>\n

A cocktail called\u00a0\u2018My Heart’ was a runaway winner. It’s seductively red, and so what better than My Heart as your Valentine’s Day cocktail recipe?<\/p>\n

To give it its Scots Gaelic name of\u00a0Mo Chridhe,<\/em>\u00a0this delicious tipple is from a recipe by talented\u00a0Aberdeen bartender Ross Lawrie from one of the UK’s top venues, the Orchid Cocktail Bar\u00a0in Aberdeen. In devising this simplified version of his original recipe, he celebrates not only Scottish Gin but Scottish seaweed too: it’s a taste of the pristine British coastline from the most northerly mainland distillery in the UK.<\/p>\n

Roses for Valentine’s Day are a bit of a clich\u00e9. But ROCK ROSE\u2026 now there’s a different take on the theme.<\/p>\n

Love and enjoy\u2026<\/p>\n
