This rosemary champagne cocktail with blood orange is a delicious and festive drink! Get the benefits of fresh rosemary in this beautiful holiday cocktail.
Combine the water and rosemary sprigs in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
Strain out the rosemary sprigs. You should have about one cup of rosemary infusion left. Stir in the honey.
Transfer to a jar, cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Rosemary Champagne Cocktail
Put 1-2 tablespoons of the rosemary syrup into each glass (depends on how sweet you want it). Then add the orange juice and stir a bit to combine.
Fill the glass with champagne (or sparkling water for a mocktail), tilting the glass as you pour to minimize foamy bubbles.
Garnish with a rosemary sprig and an orange slice and enjoy. Cheers!
Notes
I used blood oranges because they add a beautiful color to this drink, but any orange (or even lemon or lime) would work perfectly fine.If you would like to have a mocktail rather than a cocktail, use sparkling water instead of champagne!
