Tangerine Rosemary Martini

The tangerines on our tree at the shop are in abundance right now, perfect for foraging and turning into a winter cocktail. Rosemary seemed to be the perfect woody compliment to the sweet tart tangerine. Ryan and I made these to sip on while watching the Golden Globes last week but they are delightful for any occasion! This martini looks especially good atop our coasters and Jean tray.

Tangerine and Rosemary Martini
Ingredients 
 
Honey Rosemary simple syrup
1 cup water
1 cup honey
4 large sprigs Rosemary
Tangerine and Rosemary Martini
2 ounces vodka
juice from 1-2 tangerines, about a half cup
1 Tablespoon honey rosemary simple syrup
sprig of rosemary for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a small sauce pan, bring water and honey to a boil. Stir until the honey is dissolved. Keep an eye on it, the simple syrup will bubble up as soon as it starts boiling. Pour the warm simple syrup into a glass container and add the sprigs of rosemary to steep. Transfer to the fridge to cool.
  2. In a martini shaker, combine all the cocktail ingredients with ice and shake until cold. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
