In the world of spirits, old is new again and savory drinks are back in fashion. This holiday season, elevate the classic gin and tonic with seasonal touches – savory rosemary syrup and pomegranate juice, equal parts sweet and tart, balance the cocktail and add a seasonal flavor perfect for pairing with a festive meal. Cheers!
Ingredients:
• 2 ounces gin
• 2 ounces pomegranate juice
• 1 ounce rosemary simple syrup
(recipe below)
• Fresh rosemary garnish (optional)
• Splash of tonic water
Rosemary Simple Syrup:
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 small rosemary branch
Bring water and sugar to a boil. Add rosemary branch then set aside to cool. Refrigerate syrup for up to two weeks.
Method:
To a rocks glass or wine tumbler, add ice, gin, pomegranate juice and syrup. Give drink a light stir, then add a splash of tonic. For added festiveness, garnish with a rosemary branch, which makes for a great stir stick. Recipe makes one drink.
