I made the rosemary syrup a couple of weeks ago. My friend and I gave the drinks a test drive on the weekend while enjoying the first deck time of the year. I cut back the lemon juice to about a tablespoon per drink. It was fantastic.
I'll definitely be making more rosemary syrup - maybe even tonight since I have some fresh rosemary languishing in my veggie drawer.

Just made this. It's a nice drink. For my taste a tad too sweet and a tad too lemony. Next time (tomorrow?!) I'll adjust the ratios. I did swap out the club soda for some prosecco, which I thought was a nice move on my part.

I've never made a simple syrup with ground herb--does using a couple whole sprigs of rosemary going to produce a less intense syrup? Does the ground fresh rosemary strain out, or is the straining for big bits...

Silly question, regarding the syrup, it should be dried Rosemary, right?

Mr. Vittles, I used fresh. It gives it a more vibrant taste.
