Cashmere Glow

 The cashmere glow cocktail is inspired by this Bath and Body Works fragrance:

About the fragrance

I first purchased this fragrance as a body cream in 2016 after trying it on in the store. I liked it, but it was retired the following year so I could no longer purchase it in stores, although it was still available online. I ordered the fragrance mist pictured online in 2021. It is currently available online as a body lotion, body cream, and fragrance mist.

The scent notes listed for this fragrance are:

Golden peach

Lily petals

Shimmering vanilla

Cashmere musk

Designing the cocktail

I used peach flavored sparkling water for the mixer. Peach soda would work as well. I used lily petals (some varieties are edible) from the Etsy shop Herbal Mansion. For the vanilla note, I used vanilla vodka and added vanilla simple syrup for sweetness and additional flavor. I used white rum for the musk note.

Recipe

1 oz vanilla vodka

1 oz white rum

1 oz vanilla simple syrup

6 oz peach sparkling water or soda

Lily petals (make sure the variety you use is edible)

Place two ice cubes in a glass. Add vanilla vodka, white rum, and vanilla simple syrup. Pour in peach sparkling water or soda. Garnish with lily petals. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vanilla vodka and white rum.

The finished cocktail

 I would give this cocktail an average rating. I liked it better than Forever Red and Coconut Lime Breeze, but not as much as the other cocktails I have invented. The rum taste was detected first, followed by the vanilla and peach flavors. The spicy taste of the lily petals contrasted well with the vanilla and peach. I would recommend this cocktail to anyone who likes rum cocktails and peach flavor.
