Kiss From a Rose

Named the Best International Bar at the 2015 Restaurant and Bar Design Awards, the Archie Rose bar and distillery in Sydney serves a delicate rose-infused cocktail named the Rose Sour. Made with the distillery’s Original Vodka, rose wine and rose syrup, which are shaken with lemon, fresh raspberries and egg white, the concoction has a fruity and floral flavour with a clean citrus finish. If you feel like a palate explorer, also try the distillery’s Distiller's Strength gin, which is infused with rose, pear, honey, elderflower and juniper. https://archierose.com.au/bar

Jet east to Mexico and Baja’s Cabo San Lucas, where the Luna y Mar spa offers a 180-minute Calming Moon treatment, which helps maintain your body’s balance while soothing the skin with the use of various minerals. The indulgence starts with a nourishing rose petal and rose oil-infused salt exfoliation, followed by a deep cleansing rose wrap, and a rejuvenating massage, and finishes with a lymphatic facial using rose crystals, which ensure you’ll leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. www.theresortatpedregal.com
