If you haven’t yet made your own simple syrup, go ahead and take the plunge. It’s easy to do and the rosemary flavor really adds something special to this zero-proof citrus sparkler. Heat 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water and two large rosemary sprigs until boiling, then let cool and remove the rosemary. It’ll keep in the fridge for weeks, but you’re likely to use it up before then. Cheers!
