Notes

Store extra rosemary simple syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

The drink works well with both London Dry gin and botanical gins.

For a non-alcoholic version, use juniper tea instead of gin and sparkling water instead of prosecco.

Fresh lemon juice makes a big difference. Avoid bottled juice if possible.
