- Half-and-Half or Cream
- Ice Cubes
- Fresh Herbs (Optional: Basil or rosemary sprigs for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Syrups: If using homemade savory syrup, simmer equal parts sugar, water, and fresh herbs (basil or rosemary) in a saucepan for 5 minutes. Strain and let cool. Do the same for your sweet syrup if preferred.
- Fill the Glass: Add ice cubes to a tall glass until about 3/4 full.
- Layer the Syrups: Pour 1-2 tablespoons of savory syrup into the glass, followed by 1 tablespoon of sweet syrup.
- Add Club Soda: Slowly pour club soda into the glass, tilting slightly to preserve the layers. Fill until almost full.
- Finish with Cream: Gently pour 2 tablespoons of half-and-half or cream over the top. Watch as it creates gorgeous swirls in the drink!
- Garnish: Add a sprig of fresh basil or rosemary for a decorative touch.
- Serve: Stir gently with a cocktail spoon right before drinking to blend flavors slightly, or leave as-is for a layered effect.
