Instructions

Notes
The drink works best with fresh rosemary, as dried herbs won't release enough oils.
Keep the muddling gentle to avoid bitter flavors from the rosemary.
Store leftover simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
For a stronger rosemary flavor, infuse the vodka with rosemary for 24 hours before using.
