This recipe is great! I added gin for a Spring Brunch drink. Others liked it with vodka, but it is good without alcohol.
Holiday Brunch Tonic
Randy Mayor; Melanie J. Clarke
This fizzy beverage takes on a festive feel with the scent of rosemary-infused sugar syrup. Garnish with extra rosemary sprigs, if desired. Serve shortly after mixing everything together so the tonic will sparkle.
