What is a gin fizz?
A Gin Fizz is a delightful and refreshing cocktail that’s like a bubbly dance for your taste buds. It typically includes gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake it up in a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to get that frothy texture, then strain it into a glass and top with a splash of soda water.
This rosemary gin fizz simply uses a rosemary-infused simple syrup to create a variation on this classic gin cocktail.
Ingredients
For the rosemary simple syrup you will need sugar, water, and fresh rosemary.
To prepare the cocktail you will also need lemon juice, gin, and club soda along with the rosemary simple syrup.
Step by step
The key to this beautiful rosemary-infused variation on the typical gin fizz is to prepare a rosemary simple syrup ahead of time. If you haven’t made homemade simple syrup before, no worries, it’s so easy!
- Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves then remove from heat. Add one sprig of rosemary and allow to steep for one hour while cooling. Remove the rosemary sprig and store until you are ready to make your cocktail.
