I love Rosemary.
I also love anything citrus.
So, when I found this recipe for Rosemary Infused Lemon Vodka Spritzers on Brownies For Dinner, I just couldn't resist.
And besides, it's so easy!
However, I wasn't sure how I would like it because I'm not a big fan of plain Vodka & I've never had Rosemary as a drink before.
But let me tell you, this little recipe here is the bomb-diggedy!
The Rosemary is more for scent than actual taste. That is, it tastes mostly like lemons, but it smells like Rosemary.
And with a little ice? Absolute perfection.
here's how to make the rosemary lemon syrup from "Brownies For Dinner"
"Rosemary lemonade simple syrup
(adapted from Gourmet via The Bitten Word)
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
4 four-inch sprigs of rosemary
1. Place lemon juice, rosemary, and sugar in a medium pot.
2. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve sugar.
3. Allow to simmer for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Let it cool completely (about 1 hour), then remove the rosemary.
5. Use the syrup and enjoy!"
I did a shot of the syrup, a shot of vodka, 2 ice cubes & filled with spritzer.
Perfection!
