Ingredients
Rosemary Simple Syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh rosemary
Salt Rim
- Lime wedges
- Flaky sea salt
Rosemary Pomegranate Margarita (for 1 cocktail)
- 1.5 oz blanco tequila
- 1 oz orange liqueur
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 oz 100% pomegranate juice
- 1/2 oz rosemary simple syrup
- Pomegranate seeds and rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
Rosemary Simple Syrup
- Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer and allow the sugar to fully dissolve. Drop in the rosemary and continue to simmer for 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
- When it’s done steeping, strain into a glass container and chill until you’re ready to make the cocktails. The syrup is the most flavorful the day of, but it can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Salt Rim
- Cover a small plate with flaky salt and run a lime wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass.
- Rub the rim into the salt and then fill the glass with ice.
Rosemary Pomegranate Margarita
- In the cocktail glass, stir together the tequila, orange liqueur, lime, pomegranate juice, and simple syrup.
- Garnish with pomegranate seeds and a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!
