weekends

There were a lot of mimosas consumed this weekend (particularly that wonderful brunch mainstay in the bottomless variety) and I also did some experimenting in the bar myself.

When my parents visited briefly last week my mom brought me some fresh rosemary which I made into rosemary simple syrup. Yesterday evening I created a new cocktail using the syrup and a random smattering of things I had on hand.

1.5 oz gin

3/4 oz st germain

3/4 oz rosemary syrup

3/4 oz orange juice

shake together and strain into glass over ice, top with ginger beer and a piece of orange peel (and or a sprig of rosemary if I'd had any remaining. 

It's surprisingly refreshing and the spicy herbiness paired well with a particularly juicy orange.

Cheers
