- 2 oz Empress 1908 gin
- 1 oz Spiced Pomegranate and Rosemary Simple Syrup
- 3 dashes acid phosphate (or 3 drops of lemon juice* see note)
- ¾ oz tonic water
- 1 sprig rosemary for garnish
Instructions
Spiced Pomegranate and Rosemary Simple Syrup
- To make the simple syrup, add all ingredients to a saucepan and stir to combine. Over medium high heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Let boil for about 30 seconds, then remove from the heat. Let the syrup cool for about 10 minutes. The sugar will be completely dissolved and you will have a thin syrup consistency. Strain out the solids and allow to cool completely. Store in the refrigerator and use for up to 2 months.

Notes
If you use lemon instead of acid phosphate in this drink it will make the color more purple instead of the deep pink pictured here.
