Today I’m bringing you a cocktail recipe that is just as delicious as it is beautiful. This Rosemary Gin Gimlet uses a purple colored gin called Empress Gin. It’s pretty easy to find and most liquor stores carry it.
This cocktail is SUPER easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. I also included instructions for how to make the Rosemary Simple Syrup. If you don’t want to make that, you could always use regular simple syrup and garnish with a rosemary sprig. Hope y’all enjoy this one. Cheers!

- 3 oz Empress Gin
- ¾ oz rosemary simple syrup (see below for how to make)

- Combine a ½ cup of sugar and a ½ cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
