Print Recipe

A light and bubbly summer cocktail combining fresh blackberries, gin, and a rosemary-infused simple syrup for a refreshing and herbaceous twist on the classic gin fizz.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 3–4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 ounces gin
  • 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 3 ounces soda water or club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon wheel and rosemary sprig for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the rosemary simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, and 3-4 fresh rosemary sprigs. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse rosemary flavor. Remove from heat, cool completely, then strain out rosemary and store syrup in a sealed jar.
  2. Muddle the blackberries: Place 1 cup fresh blackberries into a cocktail shaker or mixing glass. Gently press with a muddler or wooden spoon to release juices without pulverizing.
  3. Add liquids and ice: Pour in 2 ounces gin, 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 ounce rosemary simple syrup. Fill shaker halfway with ice cubes.
  4. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until chilled.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a tall glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
  6. Top with about 3 ounces soda water and stir lightly to combine without losing fizz.
  7. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of rosemary. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not over-muddle blackberries to avoid bitterness from seeds. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best flavor. Simmer rosemary syrup gently to prevent bitterness. Chill glassware beforehand to keep fizz lively. Add soda water last to preserve bubbles. Rosemary syrup can be stored refrigerated up to two weeks.
