Rosemary Infused Holiday Cocktail

Herb infused cocktails are one of my absolute favorite ways to use leftover herbs.

With this rosemary infused holiday cocktail, you’ll use your left over herbs to make rosemary infused simply syrup. This simple syrup can be kept sealed in the refrigerator for later use. If you haven’t experimented with infused simple syrups, now is your chance! It’s a great way to introduce uniquely subtle flavors to your cocktails. This drink is festive in flavors & colors, making it the perfect holiday cocktail. I garnished the glass with a rosemary sprig, but you could also use a swizzle stick filled with grapes or cranberries. I personally prefer the contrast of the green & scarlet the rosemary offers.
