Instructions

Split the rose syrup and ice cubes between two tall, chilled glasses.
Slowly pour 170 ml sparkling water into each glass; stir once to disperse the syrup without flattening the bubbles.
Stir cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until pourable, not whipped.
Spoon the cream gently over the backs of spoons to float on each soda; serve immediately with straws.

Tips

Use chilled soda water and pour slowly for better carbonation.
Citrus and other acidic syrups may make dairy feather; float the cream immediately before drinking rather than premixing.
Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
Good with shortbread, cupcakes, and ice cream.
