Notes
The drink can be made ahead of time, except for the club soda. Store the mixed ingredients in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
For a stronger rosemary flavor, let the sprigs sit in the vodka for 1-2 hours before mixing.
Fresh citrus juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled juice.
To make simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved. Let cool before using.
