Notes
Store rosemary simple syrup in the fridge for up to 1 week.
For best results, add sparkling water right before serving to maintain carbonation.
You can make it sweeter or tarter by adjusting the amount of simple syrup and lime juice.
Replace regular ice cubes with frozen pomegranate seeds to prevent dilution.
