Ingredients
- FOR THE GIN FIZZ:
- 2 ounces, fluid Gin (use Your Favorite Brand)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Rosemary Syrup (recipe Below)
- 4 whole Ice Cubes
- 4 ounces, fluid Cold Club Soda (or Whatever It Takes To Fill Your Glass)
- 1 whole Rosemary Sprig (optional, For Garnish)
- FOR THE ROSEMARY SYRUP:
- 2 cups Water
- ½ cups Sugar
- 4 whole Fresh Rosemary Sprigs, Rinsed
Preparation
Grab yourself a beverage vessel/glass. Combine the gin, lemon juice and rosemary syrup in the glass and give it a good stir. Add ice cubes to fill the glass halfway full and then top that with enough club soda to fill the glass. This is not a sweet drink. So if you want more sweetness, you could always add more syrup or use tonic water instead of club soda. Then you’d have a mighty delicious beefed up G & T! Delicious, either way. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, if using.
To make the Rosemary Syrup:
Combine all of the syrup ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl through a sieve and chill the syrup. Store in an airtight container (i.e. a Mason jar) in the fridge for up to one week.
