Ingredients
  

For Rosemary Simple Syrup

  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons dried rosemary
  • ½ cup sugar

For Mocktail

  • 4-5 fresh or frozen blackberries
  • Juice from ½ a lemon about 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary simple syrup
  • Sparkling water or tonic water
  • Lemon slices and fresh rosemary sprig for garnish

Instructions
 

To Make The Rosemary-Infused Simple Syrup

  • In a small saucepan with lid, combine the water and the rosemary. Cover with lid and heat slowly over medium heat until simmering. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Then remove from the heat and allow to steep for another 30 minutes.
  • Place a small fine mesh strainer over a heat-proof bowl or measuring cup and strain the rosemary-infused liquid. Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid from the rosemary leaves as possible so you don’t leave behind any of the herbal goodness.
  • Return the infused water to the saucepan and add the sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and let cool before storing in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

To Make The Mocktail

  • Place blackberries, lemon juice, and rosemary simple syrup in the bottom of a glass. Smash everything well with a muddler or the back of a spoon.
  • Fill glass with crushed ice, then top with sparkling water or tonic water. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary.
