Recipe Tips
- To make rosemary simple syrup: simmer equal parts sugar and water with 2 rosemary sprigs for 5 minutes, then cool and strain.
- Frozen berries work in a pinch — they'll muddle just as well and add extra chill.
- For a sweeter version, add an extra half ounce of simple syrup.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Muddle or blend the berry base in a pitcher, strain if desired, and top each serving with sparkling water at the last moment.
Easy swaps: Use frozen berries, thawed briefly, when fresh berries are out of season. Swap lemon for lime for a sharper, more aromatic finish.

Do I need to strain it?

Can kids drink it?
