thumb|right|A bottle of rosolio Rosolio is a type of Italian liqueur made from a base of alcohol, sugar, and water in the same proportion, which is flavored by adding an essence of any of various types.

Despite a common misconception based on the name, rosolio has no direct connection with roses or rose petals (rose essence is, however, one option for addition to the base; other options include citrus, coffee, aniseed, and mint). In fact, the name comes from the Latin , which means 'dew of the sun': Drosera rotundifolia.
