Notes
To make rosemary simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water with fresh rosemary sprigs, simmer gently, then cool and strain.
Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor rather than bottled juice.
Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the cocktail cooler longer.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of rosemary simple syrup based on personal preference.
Alternative gin brands can be used depending on the desired botanical profile.
