This is the key ingredient in a Pomegranate-Rosemary Gin Cocktail. The “woodiness” of the rosemary really comes through in this syrup. Using brown sugar instead of white sugar also gives it more depth.
Holiday Tip: This syrup keeps for about two months – you can make it now so you have it on hand for gatherings or parties throughout the holidays.
