BLOOD ORANGE & ROSEMARY TAVERN SPRITZ 🍊🌿
A vibrant, bittersweet tavern mocktail that captures the transition from winter to the new year. The deep, ruby-red hue of blood orange provides a dramatic look, while the piney aroma of fresh rosemary adds a sophisticated, savory edge. This spritz is bright, bubbly, and perfectly balanced between tart citrus and herbal depth.

* Fill the glass with plenty of ice.
* Top with the chilled sparkling water and stir gently to combine without losing the bubbles.

CHEF TIPS:
The Juice: If blood oranges are out of season, you can substitute with regular cara cara oranges and a splash of pomegranate juice for color.
The Syrup: To make rosemary syrup at home, simmer equal parts sugar and water with 3 sprigs of rosemary for 5 minutes, then let it cool.
The Chill: Ensure all liquid ingredients are well-chilled before mixing to keep the drink crisp and refreshing.
