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.

Hi Christina! We made ours from scratch. To make an herb infused simple syrup you’ll combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water 1 sprig rosemary in a saucepan. Heat mixture until sugar is fully dissolved and stain in to a canning jar. Chill for 2-4 hours before mixing your cocktail. It’ll keep in your refrigerator for about 4 weeks. Cheers!

Okay, only a year late, but I just found this and it sounds great for Christmas Eve. I’ve made simple syrups before so it sounds nice n’ easy. Where did you get the champagne coupes? They’re very nice. Thanks for the cocktail idea.
