Rosemary-Ginger Gin Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 0.33 cup packed fresh rosemary leaves
• 0.33 cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup gin
• 1 cup rosemary-ginger simple syrup
• 1 cup sparkling water
• 0.5 cup fresh lime juice
• 10 ice cubes

Instructions

1. Combine all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, approximately 1 minute. Take the saucepan off the heat and let it sit, covered, for 1 hour at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down firmly on the solids to extract every last drop of liquid. Store the syrup in the refrigerator until you're ready to mix your cocktails.
3. In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, 1 cup of the rosemary-ginger simple syrup, sparkling water, and fresh lime juice. Add ice cubes, and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled. Strain 3/4 cup of the mixture into each of 8 glasses, and serve immediately.
