This refreshing mocktail recipe uses fresh strawberries and rosemary plus lemon and sparkling water to make the perfect thirst quenching drink for summer.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the strawberries, lemon juice, rosemary and simple syrup.
Add ice and shake.
Strain over fresh ice in a tall glass.
Top with sparkling water
Stir with a bar spoon
Garnish with a rosemary sprig
If using the rosewater extract, add it after the sparkling water and give it a stir.
Notes
Rosewater extract can be found in the spice aisle of better grocery stores. Rosewater extract is more powerful than rosewater so make sure you know what you are using. Always use less than you think and taste and adjust.You can add gin or vodka if you do want to make it boozy. Or try a zero-proof gin to add even more herbal flavor.You may want to double strain to remove all of the rosemary. I never mind when it ends up in my cocktail.***Nutritional value reflects rosewater not rosewater extract. Nutrition may vary.
