Ingredients
- 1 sprig rosemary broken into small pieces
- ¼ cup water for ice, approximately
- 2 ounces gin or vodka
- 4-6 ounces tonic water or other clear mixer such as soda water, lemon-lime soda or flavored seltzer
- 1 teaspoon sugar crystals such as Indian mishri, optional
Instructions
- In a rocks glass, place a small rosemary sprig upside down in a glass, or suspend it with twine or a clip from a skewer on top of the glass. Add water to cover the bottom of the sprig. Freeze until solid.
- Remove from the freezer and discard any twine or clips used. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid.
- For a cocktail, add gin or vodka over the ice. Top with tonic water or soda water. For a non-alcoholic drink, add lemon-lime soda or sparkling water into the glass.
- Optionally, add a spoonful of coarse white sugar for bubbles.
Notes
When you’re ready to make the drink, remove the glasses and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid. Adding liquid too soon can shock the ice and make it crack too soon. The ice melts after about 15-20 minutes, so don’t prepare drinks until you’re almost ready to serve them.
