Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin

For the rosemary simple syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  • Make the rosemary simple syrup: Mix water and sugar in a small saucepan.

  • Remove from heat and let cool. Strain and store in the fridge.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add gin, rosemary simple syrup, and lemon juice.

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.
