With its irresistible scent, delicate taste and enchanting appearance, rose soda is a highlight among soft drinks. You can easily make it at home from fresh rose petals. A detailed rose lemonade recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found below.
Fancy soda
While lemonade or orange lemonade are classics, rose lemonade, like cucumber lemonade or basil lemonade, is something more unusual.
Just like elderflower lemonade, it is heavenly fragrant and has a subtle floral taste. Served with rose petals, it’s also a visual hit.
Unlike rhubarb lemonade, which can only be prepared over a small period of time, you can enjoy rose soda over a longer period of time. That’s because roses bloom throughout the summer and into the fall.
Use only untreated flowers
Use only untreated roses for the rose lemonade recipe. They must not be sprayed or freshly fertilized. Roses from your garden are best for this. Do not use ordinary flowers from a supermarket or flower store for the lemonade.
Also, you should process the rose petals as soon as possible after you have picked the roses. Fresh flowers make the rose soda especially fresh and aromatic.
Rose soda with or without rose water
Rose water adds even more flavor and aroma to the drink. Use food grade rose water for the recipe. You can buy it in some supermarkets or online**.
But you can also make a delicious and fragrant lemonade without rose water. In this case, take a little more rose petals and let them steep sufficiently in the sugar syrup.
As refreshment, for wedding, as a gift
Homemade rose lemonade is a great refreshment on hot summer days, enchanting you with its aroma. Enjoy it on the terrace, balcony or in the garden. By the way, the homemade lime lemonade, lemon iced tea or Russian fresh kompot is perfect as a change.
You can also serve the rose soda at a summer party, for example at a summer wedding, together with the watermelon lemonade and strawberry lemonade, among others. Guests are guaranteed to be delighted by such an eye-catcher, not only in terms of taste, but also visually.
In addition, the rose lemonade is a nice souvenir. Pour it together with the rose petals into a pretty glass bottle**. Just note that the lemonade should be consumed as quickly as possible, unlike homemade strawberry syrup or orange syrup, which have a long shelf life.

Simple rose lemonade recipe
The rose lemonade recipe you can find here at the end of the post in the recipe box is pretty simple. The sugar syrup with rose petals just needs to steep for a while so that the flowers give it their flavor and aroma.
First of all, make a syrup from water and sugar. Dip rose petals into it and let it steep for at least three hours.
Then pour the rose petal syrup through a sieve into a water carafe, dilute it with water and flavor the lemonade with lemon juice and rose water.
How to make rose lemonade: tips and tricks
- Process the rose petals into lemonade quickly after you pick the roses, so they don’t wilt and the drink becomes fresh and aromatic.
- You can adjust the amount of rose water to taste. It is best to add it to the lemonade in small portions and taste it each time.
- You can also make your soda without rose water. In this case, use a little more rose petals. Note my notes here above about this.
- You can adjust the amount of lemon juice as you like.
- Take the amount of sugar according to taste.
- You can also make the drink with non-carbonated mineral water or with tap water. I use sparkling water fresh from the sparkling water maker**.
