Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup Frontier Co-op® Organic, Fair Trade Cane Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Frontier Co-op® Whole Juniper Berries, chopped
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, divided
- 4 fluid ounces citrus juice (grapefruit, orange or lemon)
- 3 fluid ounces gin
- Ice
- Club soda, to finish
Directions
- Make a simple syrup: In a small saucepan over high heat, combine water, sugar, chopped juniper berries and 1 sprig rosemary. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 4 minutes. Remove from heat, strain and let cool.
- In a shaker, combine citrus juice, gin and 4 teaspoons simple syrup. Strain into 2 glasses filled with ice; finish with club soda and sprigs of rosemary.
- For a deep red-orange color, try using blood oranges. Fresh-squeezed citrus juice works best. Try a combination of whatever citrus you might have on hand or what's fresh or in season.
