Portland Syrups Rose Cordial Syrup (16 oz) 1 Pack

I will be comparing Portland Rose Cordial to Monin Rose syrup. I had been using Monin Rose syrup for tea and coffe and sparkling water. Portland Rose Cordial is much less sweet than Monin and the rose flavor is gentler, more natural and still full. It also has a bit of tartness. Great with tea and lemonade! Perfect soda water tonic! I am inspired to add a touch to home made plum jam and perhaps quince jelly. Love it. Wish they made lavender as well.

I was hesitant to pay the extra dollars for just simple syrup, but let me tell you, it is WORTH IT! This is simply the most delicious and well formulated rose syrup possible. Only two tablespoons in a large drink and it is bursting with fresh rose flavor and also is not too sweet. The issue with the cheap syrups is that they are too sweet and not potent like this one is. This seems like the most concentrated that rose flavoring can get before it might taste too strong so props to the food chemists that whipped up this rich rosey elixir of hydrodistilled goodness. I was not paid for this review. I just really, really like their syrup.

I loved this product right away! The smell, the delicate color that adds to my Prosecco and the flavor! After buying this I never had my Prosecco plain again. I also use it during the day to flavor my water, glamming it in an instant! I’m ordering another bottle for me and one extra to gift. LOVE IT! PS: I garnish it with dried rose buds to add visual impact and flavor. you will wow your friends 😁

This tasted great there is not a lot of product for the money.

The rose syrup has a lovely flavor and consistency. I use it in cocktails, drizzle on fruit/ice cream. And I'm happy to support a company based right in Portland. Local product + made with care = quality purchase. Will definitely try other flavors!

Unfortunately, this has little true rose flavor or scent. I really appreciate the purity of the ingredients and the fact that it's not sugary (and the label is beautiful), but if you're looking for something that smells and tastes like roses--this isn't it. The flavor of rose hips isn't anything like that of roses themselves, and the rose hip flavor overpowers the true rose flavor. It is pleasant tasting and we'll certainly use it (mostly in sparkling water), but won't buy again. I may try another of their flavors, however. Making a pure, true, rose-flavored item is going to be very difficult and likely very expensive, so I'm not surprised that this doesn't hit the mark.

This rose syrup is truly great. It's sweet and rose-flavored without being perfumey or heavy. We've been adding this to sparkling water for a refreshing light soda, although this would work really well with a rye whiskey or an aromatic gin. I had a package that was lost in the mail and the communication and replacement with the seller was also excellent. Drink your roses!

I have been using this to add the taste of rose to certain iced teas. It’s perfect. For me, this is the perfect amount of sweetness. I just bought a sampler of four more of their flavors because of the rose. I can’t wait to experiment more with the rose cordial.
