Rosemary Pom Spritzer AKA The Merry Mocktail
Everyone needs a good fancy fun mocktail in their life - especially during the holidays. Herby, zingy rosemary-infused simple syrup, sweet tart pomegranate juice, bubbly fizz, and fresh lime squeezes. Holiday magic!

- 4 cups water
- 4 cups sugar
- (2) .5 oz packages fresh rosemary (basically, a nice big bunch of rosemary)
- optional: 4-5 whole cloves (a pinch of ground cloves works too)
- 2 -3 ounces rosemary simple syrup
- 2 -3 ounces pomegranate juice (cranberry juice is a good sub)
- 2 -3 ounces club soda (see note 1 for more ideas)
Steps
Heat the water, sugar, rosemary, and cloves in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a low boil and let everything simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sugar has fully dissolved. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the cloves and rogue rosemary leaves. Transfer to glass jars and store in the fridge for 2 weeks. (I often stick a sprig of rosemary in there so it keeps getting more intense.)
Pour your desired ratios of rosemary syrup, pomegranate juice, and club soda over an ice ball into a glass. Stir gently, taste and adjust, and enjoy.
