If you’re wanting a cocktail that smells like a Christmas tree, this rosemary-infused drink is for you. Our friend Sam has loads of rosemary growing in his yard, and he came up with this concoction that seems to fit the holiday spirit.

Instructions:

First you have to make the rosemary simple syrup. Add 1 c sugar to 1 c water, and put 3 or so sprigs of rosemary in a pot over medium heat. Heat until the sugar is dissolved (about 5 minutes.)

To make the cocktail:

1 jigger rosemary simple syrup
1 jigger fresh lime juice
1 jigger gin
Top with selzer

Add everything to a cocktail glass with ice and stir. Garnish with a rosemary sprig. Merry Christmas!
