Lemon Rosemary Gimlet
This is a wonderful holiday cocktail! I bet you’re wondering why it’s pink. Because holiday drinks need to be pink, so a splash of cranberry or in this case cherry juice gives it a festive color. I love red or pink cocktails during the holidays, Cosmos, pink champagne, red wine just to name a few!
The combo of rosemary and lemon in this is fantastic. You can use either gin or vodka whichever is your preference. A splash of sparkling water gives it a festive fizz. If you really want to kick it up use prosecco or champagne instead. Now that’ll make you have a really happy holiday!
Not sure what a muddler is or don’t have a strainer for your shaker. This set is a perfect starter for us upstarting mixologists.
