A refreshing seasonally inspired Tom Collins, with bright Meyer Lemon flavour with a hint of rosemary.
Place rosemary, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a strong simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 5-10 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once cooled, drain with a sieve into a glass or other heatproof jar and use immediately or cover and place in refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
Combine Meyer Lemon juice, lemon juice, gin, and rosemary simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake for 30 seconds and pour evenly into 2 tall glasses filled with ice. Top with club soda and garnish with Meyer Lemon peel if desired.
* there will be ample simple syrup leftover for many rounds of this cocktail :)
