Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup Tonic Water
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Small Rosemary Sprig (bruised)
- Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Place a highball glass in the refrigerator for a few minutes or fill with ice water to pre-chill and keep the drink crisp.
- Gently bruise a small rosemary sprig between your fingers to release its aromatic oils.
- Discard any chilling ice, then pour chilled tonic water and fresh lemon juice into the glass.
- Add the bruised rosemary sprig. Stir gently for 20–30 seconds to blend flavors and let the aroma infuse.
- Fill the glass completely with fresh ice cubes, stir once more to chill evenly, and taste for balance — add an extra squeeze of lemon if you prefer a sharper citrus edge.
- Add a fresh rosemary sprig upright in the glass or a thin lemon wheel for visual appeal. For a subtle twist, rim the glass with a touch of salt for contrast.
- Present chilled and enjoy the clean bitterness of tonic lifted by citrus brightness and herbal freshness.
