Notes

The rosemary simple syrup stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Make a larger batch by keeping the same ratio of ingredients.
For best results, use freshly squeezed orange juice. Store-bought juice works too, but choose one without added sugar.
The drink can be made ahead of time except for the sparkling water. Add it just before serving to keep the fizz.

Tasting Notes

The Orange Rosemary Fizz offers a bright citrus flavor that leads with fresh orange notes. The rosemary adds an earthy, piney accent that balances the sweetness of the fruit.

This drink has a light, bubbly texture from the sparkling water. The carbonation creates tiny bubbles that deliver a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel.

Key Flavor Elements:

  • Sweet orange
  • Herbal rosemary
  • Light fizz
  • Clean finish

The aroma combines fresh citrus zest with woodsy rosemary. These scents work together to create an inviting and sophisticated smell.

The color is a pale golden-orange that catches the light beautifully. Small rosemary leaves float throughout the drink, adding visual interest.

The taste starts sweet then moves to herbal notes, ending with a clean, crisp finish. Each sip brings a new layer of flavor as the ingredients blend together.

This mocktail works well as both a daytime refresher and an evening drink alternative. The flavors stay bright and distinct without becoming too sweet or overwhelming.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

The Orange Rosemary Fizz recipe works well with several ingredient swaps. Fresh oranges can be replaced with store-bought orange juice. However, the taste may be less bright.

No rosemary? Try these herbs instead:

  • Fresh thyme
  • Fresh sage
  • Fresh basil

The club soda adds bubbles to the drink. These fizzy alternatives work too:

Want it sweeter? Replace simple syrup with:

Note: When using store-bought juices or sodas, reduce the amount of sweetener. These often contain added sugar.

For a completely different twist, try blood oranges or tangerines instead of regular oranges. These citrus fruits create unique color variations and subtle flavor changes.
