For my rosemary gin fizz, we use homemade rosemary simple syrup to put an herbal spin on the classic gin fizz cocktail. You can substitute other herbs for the rosemary. Think mint or basil!
1Make rosemary simple syrup. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, constantly stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat, add the rosemary, and let steep for 1 hour. Discard the rosemary sprig. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
2Shake gin, lemon juice, and rosemary simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Add club soda and garnish with a lemon slice and sprig of fresh rosemary.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
Gin fizz mocktail: For an alcohol-free version, leave out the gin and add more club soda.
Pitcher-friendly recipe: For multiple servings, stir gin, lemon juice, and rosemary simple syrup in a pitcher. Refrigerate. When ready to serve, divide the mixture between glasses filled with ice, add club soda, and garnish with lemon slices and rosemary sprigs.
