Raspberry-Rose Collins
The best and most surprising part of this tall, refreshing drink is the taste of rose on the finish. It comes not from any floral ingredient but from the gin — in this case, Nolet's Silver, a brand with a pronounced rosy finish. If you don't have Nolet's, substitute another gin and add a few drops of rose water, available at specialty and Middle Eastern food stores.
