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
1. 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.
2. In a shaker, combine citrus juice, gin and 4 teaspoons simple syrup. Strain into 2 glasses filled with ice and finish with club soda and sprigs of rosemary.
RECIPE TIP:
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.
