Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- A few sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 2 oz gin
- 0.50 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
- 4 oz freshly squeezed blood orange juice
- 1 oz rosemary simple syrup
- 4 oz tonic water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and fresh rosemary sprigs, and simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat as soon as the sugar is dissolved.
- Optionally, let the syrup steep for an hour for a stronger rosemary flavor. If time is limited, the syrup can be used right away, but allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Fill a highball glass with ice, then pour in the gin, tonic water, lime juice, blood orange juice, and rosemary simple syrup. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and enjoy!
