Mix it up with St. Germain

After having St. Germain elderflower liqueur in Bistro One's wonderful Fleur De Lys cocktail, I decided to experiment with a bottle myself. Try my wonderful lemon, rosemary, orange soda following the recipe below.

First create a simple syrup with lemon and rosemary (bring strips of lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar to a simmer - cook until sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add a couple of sprigs of rosemary. Let steep and cool for several minutes. Then strain and store.)

Mix:
1/2 part lemon, rosemary syrup
1 part Vodka (or more to taste)
1/2 part St. Germain

Serve on ice, fill to top with Italian Blood Orange Soda, stir and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Thanks to Tina and Tom @ Lido Wine for the St. Germains - it was perfect!
