"A dark, sweet drink of grape molasses and rose water, topped with pine nuts."

Grape molasses (dibs) and rose water poured over crushed ice, finished with floating pine nuts and raisins. Deep amber, intensely sweet, faintly smoky — a fixture at Lebanese restaurants and a Ramadan favourite.

The pine nuts are not a garnish to ignore; they soften in the glass and you eat them at the end.
