1. To start with you need to make the rosemary syrup. Throw the sugar and water into a saucepan with 5 sprigs of rosemary (leaves stripped off the sprigs) and place on high heat until to comes to a boil. Once it’s boiled, and the sugar has dissolved, set aside to cool down. Once the syrup is cooled to room tempertaure, strain out the rosemary and put in the fridge to chill.
2. Juice the lemons.
The cocktail is dead simple:
3 parts lemon juice
2 parts rosemary syrup
1 part vodka
3. To make the cocktail grab some ice and whack it into your cocktail shaker. Add in the 3 parts lemon juice, 2 parts rosemary syrup and one part vodka. Use any measuring you like – a shot glass, cup etc, just make sure the ratios are all the same – 3/2/1. Shake hard.
4. Pour into your glass and garnish with another sprig of rosemary.
Enjoy!
Don’t you just love that cocktails are not just for summer?
