Rosemary Gin Fizz
This rosemary gin fizz cocktail is a delicious twist on a classic gin fizz. My simple rosemary syrup infuses the cocktail with fresh rosemary, making this gin cocktail refreshing and so delicious! One of my favorite classic cocktails is a gin fizz, so I love this variation made with fresh rosemary. Our rosemary gin fizz cocktail is incredibly refreshing, light, and perfect for warmer weather. If you love a gin fizz as much as I do, you should also look at our classic gin fizz or this sloe gin fizz made with sloe gin! Key Ingredients Gin: I recommend using a mid-to-high shelf gin. London dry gin (like Beefeater) has a clean flavor, while Plymouth gin is more aromatic. Choose one that suits your taste. Lemon: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is key for a bright, refreshing taste. Bottled lemon juice will work in a pinch if you don’t have fresh lemons. Club Soda: I love club soda in cocktails because it adds a bit of salt, enhancing the flavors of the other ingredients. You can use sparkling water or seltzer water, but they often don’t have the same salt or mineral content as club soda. Simple Syrup: I make a rosemary simple syrup to infuse this gin cocktail with fresh rosemary. It’s super easy. I make my basic recipe for simple syrup and then add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary. As the syrup cools, the oils from the fresh rosemary release and infuse it. Gin: I recommend using a mid-to-high shelf gin.
