A Rose By Any Other Name

A Rose By Any Other Name

A Rose By Any Other Name took second place in Imbibe magazine’s Metaxa Cocktail Competition in 2009. Invented by mixologist Lara Creasy in Atlanta, it features Metaxa, a Greek brandy flavored with rose petals and other botanicals.

Despite its origins, A Rose By Any Other Name is quite delicious with just about any type of brandy you can get your hands on. Resist the urge to increase the rose water; with or without Metaxa, it’s perfect as-is and even one more drop could take the drink from sophisticated to soapy in a heartbeat.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
