Instructions
Rosemary Simple Syrup
- Add cane sugar, water, and rosemary to a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Lower the heat and simmer the syrup for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Remove the rosemary and transfer it to a glass jar. Allow to cool completely before closing with a lid. Store in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Pomegranate Mocktail

- Shake vigorously for 5 seconds until cool and frothy.
- Strain into a glass filled with ice, top up with seltzer, and garnish with fresh rosemary and pomegranate arils.
Notes
Store the rosemary syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge for 2 weeks. It makes 1 1/3 cup of syrup which is enough for about 12 servings.
