Cooking Tips
- Make the Rosemary Syrup Ahead: The rosemary simple syrup is the star of this recipe, and it’s so easy to prepare in advance. It keeps well in the fridge for up to two weeks, so you’ll always have it on hand for quick drink-making or other recipes like teas and desserts.
- Use High-Quality Pomegranate Juice: Look for pure pomegranate juice without added sugars or artificial ingredients. The flavor is more robust, and you’ll get all the health benefits without the extra sweeteners.
- Chill Your Glasses: Pop your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. A cold glass keeps the drink perfectly chilled and adds an extra touch of elegance.
- Adjust the Sweetness: You can tweak the rosemary simple syrup to suit your taste. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of syrup, or add more pomegranate juice for a tangier twist.
