What sweet fruit syrup drink is made with rose water?

Jallab is the sweet fruit-syrup drink made with rose water. Popular across the Levant, it is typically prepared from a syrup containing carob, dates, grape molasses, and rose water, then diluted with water and served cold.

Jallab is usually poured over crushed ice and garnished with raisins and pine nuts. The combination produces a dark, fragrant drink with fruity sweetness, a gentle caramel-like depth from grape molasses, and floral notes from rose water. Recipes vary, and some modern versions use grenadine or additional flavorings.

Jallab is especially associated with summer refreshment and is widely served during Ramadan. It is not the same as sherbet, which is a broader category of sweetened fruit or floral drinks, nor is it simply tamarind drink. The defining clue is the Levantine fruit syrup base, particularly the combination of dates or carob with grape molasses and rose water.
