  3. Add the rosemary sprigs and bring the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes until fragrant and all sugar is dissolved.
  4. Remove from heat and let sit for about 10 more minutes.
  5. Use it now to make your cocktails OR place in a container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
The Spritz

  2. Add about 2 teaspoons of rosemary simple syrup to each glass (add a little more if you prefer a sweeter drink) and stir.
  3. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary in each glass and enjoy. Cheers!
