Orange flower water is a clear, perfumed distillation of fresh bitter-orange blossoms, this essential water is used in many Mediterranean dessert dishes, and in some cocktails, such as the Ramos Gin Fizz. It is most often used in Middle Eastern cooking but is being seen more in Western cooking. In the Arab world, it is traditionally added to hard or otherwise bad-tasting water to mask the unpleasant flavor.
