I love rosemary. The smell of it is so fresh and good in anything. I knew I had to give this drink a try when I saw it and I was not disappointed. It’s so refreshing and summery… be careful with the garnish though or it might turn out tasting like a christmas tree or potpourii display. But with the right amount of rosemary, it’s my favorite summer drink. Thanks for reading and happy Wednesday!
