It was unseasonably warm here in Dallas last Sunday, so I decided to break out the rum as I watched the Super Bowl. I've made vodka cocktails with herb-infused simple syrups, but not rum concoctions. This one is nice. Citrusy and fizzy. It's perfect for a day by the pool...or a cold day when you just WISH you were by the pool!
Lemon and Rosemary Rummy
Makes one cocktail.
1 tablespoon herb-infused simple syrup (Recipe follows.)
1 1/2 ounces white rum
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 ounces club soda or sparkling water
Measure first three ingredients over ice cubes in a highball glass. Top with club soda and stir. Garnish with a small sprig of rosemary if desired.
Herb-Infused Simple Syrup
Makes about 3 cups.
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
8 fresh rosemary sprigs
8 fresh thyme sprigs
Simmer all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using.
