A botanically brewed sparkling lemonade that leads with a bright, tart citrus snap and then opens into the unmistakable perfume of Bulgarian rose — floral and aromatic without tipping into soap. A whisper of fermented ginger root and pear juice rounds the body, and red cabbage extract gives the liquid its rosy blush. Lively carbonation and a clean, lemon-forward finish keep it refreshing rather than dessert-sweet, making it one of the more confident floral sodas in the botanical-tonic field.
