2 oz of Gin
1 oz of beet juice
1 oz of rosemary simple syrup
3/4 oz of Lime Juice
rosemary sprig
Prepare rosemary simple syrup: combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 4 fresh rosemary sprigs - stir in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and boil 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and let stand 30 minutes. Pour liquid through a wire-mesh strainer into a cruet or airtight container, discarding rosemary sprigs. Cover and chill 4 hours - you'll have about a cup and a half of rosemary simple syrup from this recipe!
Once you have the rosemary simple syrup (you only need 1 oz for this recipe), add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into highball glass over large ice cubes. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
