This sophisticated rosemary cocktail is the perfect way to elevate your happy hour. Light, fizzy, and refreshing, this perfect cocktail marries fresh citrus to fragrant rosemary. The piney aroma of the rosemary wakes up your sense of smell and adds something special to our jewel-toned, extremely sippable beverage. And happily, it takes mere moments to shake up this delicious cocktail that's reminiscent of a fizzy rosemary gimlet or a rosemary gin fizz.

Equipment

  • Double old fashioned glass or a copper mule mug
  • Cocktail Shaker or Jar with a tight fitting lid
  • liquid measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • ice
  • 1 blood orange juiced (See Notes)
  • 2 ounces good gin like Hendricks (See Notes)
  • ½ ounce Rosemary Simple Syrup
  • 2 ounces good tonic water like Q or Fever Tree (See Notes)
  • 1 sprig rosemary for garnish
  • 1 slice blood orange for garnish (See Notes)

Instructions
 

  • Fill a double old fashioned glass or a copper mule mug and a cocktail shaker or jar with a tight fitting lid each with ice.
  • Add the blood orange juice, gin, and rosemary simple syrup to the cocktail shaker or jar. Fit the lid tightly in place and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into the prepared glass or mug, pour in the tonic water, and stir gently to combine.
  • Garnish with the rosemary sprig and blood orange slice. Sip happily!

Notes

If you cannot find blood oranges or prefer to, feel free to swap in a navel orange, red grapefruit, or a lemon for both the juice and the garnish. It will be different, but equally delightful.
If you’re not a gin aficionado, please switch it out for bourbon.
If you do replace the gin with bourbon, please consider substituting club soda for the tonic water.
