Blood Orange Rosemary Gin Tonic
Course Drink
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Jigger
  • Highball glasses
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces gin
  • 1 cup fresh blood orange juice
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Ice cubes
  • 32 ounces tonic water
  • 4 blood orange slices, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill four highball glasses with ice cubes to chill them and keep the drink cold.
  • Pour 2 ounces of gin and 1/4 cup of blood orange juice into each glass.
  • Lightly bruise one rosemary sprig by gently pressing it with the back of a spoon, then add it to each glass to release its oils.
  • Top each glass with 8 ounces of tonic water and stir once to combine.
  • Add one blood orange slice to the rim of each glass as a garnish.

Notes

Muddle the rosemary just enough to scent the drink without making it bitter. If blood oranges are out of season, use regular orange juice mixed with a splash of cranberry for similar color. Serve right after adding the tonic to keep the bubbles lively.
