Notes

Making a simple syrup is easy! Just follow our guide, using 2 large rosemary sprigs. You can save this in the refrigerator for 1 week to make cocktails! 
We love adding zero-proof spirits in the drink, however, you can make this without as well. I do recommend having it on hand if you make a lot of mocktails though! 
Instead of lime juice try lemon juice or orange juice too.
