Directions

  1. Make the Rosemary Syrup
     In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
    Heat gently over medium heat, stirring just until the sugar fully dissolves. Do not boil.
  2. Add Rosemary
     Remove from heat and add the rosemary sprig and the pinch of fine sea salt.
    Let steep for 5–6 minutes, just until lightly aromatic.
    Remove and discard the rosemary. Let the syrup cool completely.
  3. Build the Base
     In a pitcher, combine the fresh blood orange juice and 60–80 ml of the cooled rosemary syrup.
    Stir gently and taste. The base should be juicy and lightly sweet, not syrupy.
  4. Add the Fizz
     Add plenty of ice to the pitcher.
    Pour in the chilled club soda and stir gently once or twice to integrate without killing carbonation.
  5. Serve
     Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with blood orange slices and twists of blood orange peel.

*Notes : 

  • Blood oranges vary wildly — start low on syrup or you’ll nuke balance.
  • Rosemary contact must be short. Pine cleaner = instant failure.
  • Salt should be invisible. If you taste it, you missed the point.
  • Fresh juice only. Bottled blood orange is flat and embarrassing.
  • Serve immediately. A flat spritzer is dead on arrival.
