I'm not a huge fan of floral flavors, but I really enjoyed this agua fresca. The strawberry flavor was strong enough to balance out the rose flavor.

This drink was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found the rose flavor to be a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

This drink was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I might try using less sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of floral flavors. But I'm so glad I did! The rose flavor was subtle and perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the strawberries. I'll definitely be making this again.
