Blueberry Rosemary Smash (mocktail)

If you miss the complexity of cocktails then this one might be worth checking out. It is fruit forward, but with rosemary in the mix, the mocktail is far from boring.

Couple pieces of advice. Don’t be afraid to overdo the blueberries. If they are small, add more. We added simple syrup (2:1 ratio) to the original recipe because the first version was being overpowered by the citrus. Finally when you add the lemon juice, we recommend adding a splash of water (not sparkling) to the tin. Our first cocktail was hard to pour because there wasn’t enough liquid. Make sure to double strain to get rid of the fruit and the rosemary bits, and give the cocktail a gentle stir after adding the sparkling water. Cheers!
