Has anyone used the Indo-Pak syrup Rooh Afza as a cocktail ingredient? I just picked some up, a bottle each of Indian and Pakistani varieties, and it seems like it could work very well - it's plenty sweet, and very intensely flavored, I was thinking like an exotic grenadine, perhaps?

Anyone tried this?

Best use for it, IMO, is for falooda. Mmmmmm....

As a drink, I have only drunk it mixed with milk (cold) or on occasion mixed into something lemonade-ish. Mixing it with alcohol seems a vaguely strange idea given its association as a non-alchohlic drink especially enjoyed by Muslims, but I suppose the choice is yours!

I love Rooh Afza, mixed into milk, or simply into ice water. I prefer the Indian variety for this. The Pakistani variety has a stronger rose flavor in my opinion. I'm not much of a cocktail drinker, but I think it would be fantastic used in small quantities. Have to watch out for the sweetness though.
