it's always a celebration when our mint returns after the winter making the first Julep! This winter a rabbit ate all the leaves and springs but it is slowly coming back. This does sound like a great recipe.
It's nice to have some fresh mint at home. Still better than if it would drink all the bourbon right? The mint will grow back 😉 Thank you, Stephane! I hope that you will try this one out one day.
Haha thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it, even if you don't have a plan of making it. That's also a reason we started this channel when the bars shut down. But don't worry, we'll keep making these videos for you to enjoy!
My dad loves a good Mint Julep, especially on the Kentucky Derby. I'm gonna show him this video so we can try it for this year's Derby, could be interesting to try.
Thank you so much, Alexander! Welcome aboard, we'll keep making these videos, you keep watching (a like and a comment like yours are even more helpful) and together we'll get there!
Fantastic video, Kevin. I just finished making my rose syrup this evening. I happened to have the roses on hand from a trip to Turkey a few years ago. My julep cups will be arriving from Cocktail Kingdom tomorrow and we'll have a great time on Saturday. We're frying up some chicken and having biscuits too. I normally double down on the mint by making a mint syrup, but this will be a fun change. Thanks for the great recipe - I'm looking forward to trying it!
Sounds great! I am so happy that you will try out this recipe! Send me a picture of it on some social media so I can see the beauty that you will make! Enjoy and cheers!
Great video as always Kevin! You always seem pretty knowledgeable around infusing ingredients. When would you recommend going for the sous vide machine instead of regular pan on stove? What flavor profile you end up favoring?
I would always recommend using Sous Vide for more sophisticated syrups or alcohol infusions. It's amazing since you don't have any evaporation with this tool, so the syrup will always be the same sugar % as you put in the bag. And the second great thing is, that you can precisely set the temperature for the infusion. Some ingredients change their taste at higher temperature (cucumber, for example, taste totally different when cooked). But of course, I wouldn’t use it for simple syrups.
Since mint juleps are kinda like old fashioneds, you’d think there be as many variations for the former as there is for the latter but no. Nice to see something new like this!
Actually, that syrup might do well in an aviation twist as a replacement for crème de Violette? Or maybe a last word, using this rose syrup instead of luxardo maraschino? I think it would work fantastic in a variety of sour cocktails as the sweetening component, balancing out the acid. Thinking gin/vodka/white rum, citrus, rose syrup. The added hibiscus definitely makes it a great pairing for Jamaican or agricole rum. From the looks of it, it would really make a great replacement for any of the floral liqueurs like luxardo, St Germain, or violette. I will definitely have to give this one a shot!
You are right! It can replace all these floral liqueurs as well as sugar in a sour cocktail. Yesterday I tried a Gimlet with this syrup and it was amazing! If you will try one of these, let me know how it was! Thank you!
This syrup sounds wonderful for a side project I was just starting to conceive. I've been discussing possible cocktails named for and inspired by the works of Shakespeare with ChatGPT. Its suggestion for Loves Labours Lost sounds good, but a little one-note. But part of its essence is a cocktail with floral inspiration, and I thought it might be good as a three-flower cocktail to parallel the pairs of lovers. The most obvious additions are St Germaine and creme de Violette, but I wonder how rose would play with those two flavors. I think rose would complement the elderflower, which would play nicely with the violets. But Violet-Rose might be a bit much
Hi! Yes, you can. Just add more rose petals into the water.

How the hell did you set your kitchen scale to show your name?! 2:52 .. with the Mint Julep cocktails I always expect refreshing and tropical taste (by the looks of it) and then baam, totally different flavor. Amazing video!
Tom Collins, Ramos Gin Fizz, Gimlet, Old Fashioned, Daiquiri... You can even replace this syrup for a floral liqueur in some cocktails. The sky is the limit.
Loved this video, I have recently tried combining your rose syrup with a rapidly infused gin with jalapenos to make a sort of "Love and thorns" cocktail, however I found jalapenos being bit too much on the savory side to compliment the rose syrup. What other processes of bringing in heat into the cocktail would you recommend?
I love the idea of the "Love and Thorns" cocktail. You can also use ginger or peppercorns, but be careful with the amount since it can quickly overpower the subtle rose. Maybe try with Ancho Reyes liqueur as well.
Another great idea for using this syrup in a cocktail. I have to try it. Yesterday I made myself a Gimlet with this syrup and it was amazing. Thank you!
Absolut kurant Myrtle liqueur Lavender syrup Lime juice And a violet foam on top Garnish with lavender and violet just like you compined mint and rose in this video.. . What do you think
All listed ingredients would work great together, but be careful with adding both floral notes, since they are really powerful. Try to put them more in the backward on the palate so they won't overcome the fruity tastes of the blackcurrant and blueberry since they will be in the front on the nose. This seems like an interesting and tasty cocktail that I would love to see. Feel free to send me the picture on some social media. Cheers!
Are you having some Mint Juleps for this year’s Kentucky Derby?
I'm not waiting for the Derby 😅🤤
Always! One of my favorite days of the year :)
Still to cold here 😎

Four Roses Single Barrel is My FAVORITE bourbon! Love Mint Juleps, I will have to try the rose syrup! Cheers Kevin! Good Job as always!
I like it a lot! Thank you Rob!
I just found this channel today and am so excited to see everything you make! This amazing content is criminally under subscribed
Thank you so much! I am glad that you found it. Welcome aboard!
Great job on the rose syrup. Very nice and well worth making.
Thank you so much David!
Instant suscribe ! I watch a LOT of cocktails channel, but the quality on this video is just a step above. You deserve much more suscribers. Cheers !
Thank you so much for your kind words and wishes! Welcome aboard! Cheers!
There is no way I could be bothered making this but it sure was satisfying to watch. This is why bars exist
Haha thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it, even if you don't have a plan of making it. That's also a reason we started this channel when the bars shut down. But don't worry, we'll keep making these videos for you to enjoy!
Definitely a time investment, but the reaction you get from serving it to the right person makes it so worth it!
My dad loves a good Mint Julep, especially on the Kentucky Derby. I'm gonna show him this video so we can try it for this year's Derby, could be interesting to try.
The single barrel is also fantastic in an Old Fashioned, very nice bourbon 🙂
Amazing bourbon indeed! 🥃
The rose with the mint as garnish is beautiful. That rose syrup looks great!
Thank you, Vino. Cheers!
Definitely a winner I love all the different ways you have incorporated the rose. Cheers to the Derby!
Thanks! I took this Run For the Roses really seriously 😃 Cheers!
It’s julep season! This one looks wonderful - I’ll have to try making the rose syrup 🌹 Thanks for another great video! Cheers, my friend!
It really is! Thank you for watching, Anders! Let me know how it turned out. Cheers!
Love the addition of the rose, I always say, make sure there's a Rose at every party if you want to have a good time 😎😉
Hahaha. Imagine this cocktail made by Rose. That would be something!
Stunning! So lovely! Inviting! I can imagine how delicious this gorgeous cocktail will taste!!
It was super delicious. Thank you so much!
This is a gorgeous cocktail. Very well thought out and executed 👏👏
Thank you so much!
Dropped everything I was doing to watch this, I love a good mint julep 😋
Great! I hope that you will try it out. 🌹🥂
Thumbnail caught me too!
Finally manage to watch the video. Wonderful cocktail once again.
I am glad that you like it! Thank you!
Another great video guys! Definitely gonna try an old fashioned with this syrup
That would be an interesting drink. Which whisk(e)y will you choose to make an Old Fashioned with? Thanks!
@@KevinKos I’m thinking of using the Rittenhouse 100 proof rye! Really curious how that will pair with the notes from the syrup
@@vnator123
How about adding some rose-wood-chips into that syrup? I think that would make it extra special 🤔
Four roses is such a good Bourbon sooooo good
True!
That Rose julep looks great! I love it!
Thank you Lele!
Your views should be much higher - these videos are amazing !

Great idea for a Julep, Bravo !! 👏👏👌
Thank you! It really makes for a delicious twist.
Great recipe, Kevin! I'm a big fan of making my own syrups at home.
Hope one day you can make a video of lavender syrup.
Great suggestion! I love lavender! Thank you!
This looks really REALLY good
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, I'd love to give this a try. And the roses on the tie were a nice touch! 🌹
Thank you Daisy! 😊Cheers!

Thanks, it's a nice little twist on the classic and I'd love to hear if you like it!
That is a beautiful drink
Thank you!
You and the team aced it again 🌹 I need to try this version. Just ordered some new ingredients...
Hope you enjoy. Thank you so much!
Agreed! This rose syrup is a game changer!
Omg so pretty, I wanna try a eastside with this
Thank you! Feel free to share the results with us. Cheers!

Thanks Rohan, I couldn't agree more! A refreshing, minty version of the Old Fashioned deserves more twists. Cheers!
Looks amazing!
Any variation of that rose syrup recipe for those of us unfortunate enough to not have a sous vide setup lol?
You can let rose petals, hibiscus, and pink peppercorn steep in hot sugar syrup for a day, and you should end up with a similar result. Thank you!
Cocktail Time with Kevin Kos Thank you! I was scrolling through the comments hoping to find this info. The cocktail looks amazing.
Actually, that syrup might do well in an aviation twist as a replacement for crème de Violette?

We need more of this content Mr. Kevin Kos!
Set your clock to Cocktail Time and come back every Thursday! Thank you for your support!
@@KevinKos yes Sir! I will. Thank you!
That looks outstanding! I'm definitely going to try to get the ingredients for the syrup. Otherwise, I'll just have to suffer with a standard.
🤞 that you'll try this one out. Cheers!
It looks great and I want to try it, but I can’t find any dry roses 🌹 that have the rose scented fragrance.
Big chef thank you
🍸coctail time👍
Indeed 😉
I Love the idea.
I want to make it, but I dont have a Sous Vide.
How should I make the syrup without a Sous Vide?
I would cook rose petals in the pan and then use that water to make a syrup with it. Thanks!
That Mr KK...actually does float my little boat. Although you know me and my channel... the Monin Rose will come out to play! 🙈😂
Haha, finally something that floats on your boat too 😄. Affiliates right? Monin Rose will work too 😃
@@KevinKos No no. Not Affiliates. Time is Money and I don’t do Faff. (And Monin give me most of my stuff...😉😂😂😂)
Not seeing the link to the julep cocktail competition?
Sorry. I put it in the description now.
Moses supposes his...syrups are roses?
I bet this would be good in a Clover Club or, maybe more appropriately, the Rosebud from Tales of the Cocktail.
I am sure that this would make a really great Clover Club! Thanks for the idea! 🥂
Can just imagine the sours and Collins you can make with this syrup! Brain's going into overdrive!
Hello! Thank you for this video)) Could I make this syrup without rose water? I can't find it in my city((
Hi! Yes, you can. Just add more rose petals into the water.
How the hell did you set your kitchen scale to show your name?! 2:52 .. with the Mint Julep cocktails I always expect refreshing and tropical taste (by the looks of it) and then baam, totally different flavor. Amazing video!
nice touch! haha
Missed that watching the first time 🙈😄
I love it! Great work as usual Sašo!
Me too 😅
So pretty🌹
Thank you! 😊

I'm getting a new rose, since you used this one for the garnish, right? 🌹
Of course my dear!
I just caught this!!!! Is this Vanna White????
@@TheSpiritoftheCocktail haha let's keep her identity a secret for now 🤫😄
@@KevinKos HA!
Salud🍻from mexico
Cheers Jorge!
How can i make the syrup without a sous vide cooker?
I think it would go well in a cappuccino
Did the scale say Kevin before your started weighing out the roses??
Haha it actually says Hello before that. A little Sašo magic right there 😎
Rose, Pink Peppercorn & Hibiscus is a genius flavour combination, your palate must be so pleased with you hahaha
It really goes well together. Hahaha, I guess you are right since it almost never complains 😄
Loving this recipe! So tough to get that delicate rose aroma, can't wait to try this!
I’ve made a Rose Martini with my Rose Syrup before. Your syrup is superior though as mine was just Rose pedals Rose water and a hint of vanilla
Another great idea for using this syrup in a cocktail. I have to try it. Yesterday I made myself a Gimlet with this syrup and it was amazing. Thank you!
Absolut kurant
Myrtle liqueur
Lavender syrup
Lime juice
And a violet foam on top
Garnish with lavender and violet just like you compined mint and rose in this video..
.
What do you think

Something floral and smoky
A highball with a rose cordial and something smoky like Talisker Strom and a little bit of lillet rose or fortified wine
I love smoky whisky 😍 and your idea sounds delicious!
Jack Rose
Of course, sous vide. I always hated how evaporation messes with the ratio and that is the solution!
You are welcome 😉
That syrup in a Manhattan please
Interesting! In this case, you would have to lower the amount of vermouth.
It will be good if you add a hit of cardamon
Cardamom would go well in here indeed.
Woodglut has a lot of plans to choose from.
We'll check that out, cheers!
@@KevinKos Cheers 🤙
