Rosemary Champagne Cocktail with Blood Orange



Ingredients

Rosemary Syrup
3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 cups water
1 cup honey
Rosemary Champagne Cocktail (per drink)
1-2 tbsp rosemary syrup
2 tbsp blood orange juice any citrus can be substituted
champagne or sparkling water for a mocktail
rosemary sprig and blood orange slice for garnish

Instructions

  • Rosemary Syrup
  • Combine the water and rosemary sprigs in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Strain out the rosemary sprigs. You should have about one cup of rosemary infusion left. Stir in the honey.
  • Transfer to a jar, cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Rosemary Champagne Cocktail
  • Put 1-2 tablespoons of the rosemary syrup into each glass (depends on how sweet you want it). Then add the orange juice and stir a bit to combine.
  • Fill the glass with champagne (or sparkling water for a mocktail), tilting the glass as you pour to minimize foamy bubbles.
  • Garnish with a rosemary sprig and an orange slice and enjoy. Cheers!

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 6 tablespoons Earth Balance (vegan margarine), cut into  medium sized pieces 3/4 cup non-dairy milk Directions: Preheat your oven to 400. In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.  With your fingers or a pastry cutter cut in the Earth Balance pieces until they are the size of peas. Take 1 tablespoon of milk out of the 3/4 cup and set it aside. Pour the rest of the milk over the flour and stir gently with a spatula until it comes together.
