Sliced blood oranges and sprigs of rosemary to garnish
Ice cubes or crushed ice to serve
Rosemary simple syrup
½ cup water
½ cup sugar
2 sprigs of Rosemary
1 bay leaf (optional)
Method
Blood oranges make a beautiful and refreshing cocktail. A little more sophisticated than its older brother/sister the ‘screw driver’ (orange and vodka cocktail). What makes it so? The addition of carbonated water gives it that refreshing fizzy taste. Using blood oranges makes it a lot more pleasing to the eyes and the rosemary simple syrup adds a wonderful warm and woodsy flavour to this and any cocktail
Directions
Fill a glass with ice.
Then add the vodka, Oh Bubbles blood orange Syrup, bitters and the rosemary simple syrup.
Top up with the Oh Bubbles Sparkling Water and stir gently.
Garnish with orange slices and fresh springs of rosemary.
For the rosemary simple syrup
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, bring the sugar and water to a low boil.
Remove from heat and add the rosemary sprigs along with the bay leaf if using and allow to steep and cool to room temperature.
Discard the rosemary and bay leaf and store the simple syrup in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use. Can be stored for at least two weeks and up to 6 months.
