Blood Orange Rosemary Fizz

Bright, citrusy, and gently herbal—this sparkling sipper comes together in minutes and looks stunning in the glass.

Prep: 5 min Total: 5 min Yield: 1 serving Vegan Gluten-Free

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh blood orange juice
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or simple syrup, to taste
• 1 small rosemary sprig (plus more to garnish)
• 3–4 oz (90–120 ml) club soda or sparkling water, chilled
• Ice
• Optional balance: 1 tsp lemon juice if your oranges are very sweet

Directions

1. Wake the herbs: Lightly clap the rosemary sprig between your palms to release aroma; add to a tall glass.
2. Add blood orange juice, maple (or simple) syrup, and lemon juice if using. Stir to dissolve.
3. Fill the glass with ice. Top with chilled club soda and give a gentle stir to combine without knocking out bubbles.
4. Garnish with an extra rosemary sprig or a thin blood orange wheel. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations:

• Make-ahead: Mix juice + sweetener up to 24 hours in advance. Add ice and soda just before serving.
• Rosemary syrup option: Simmer 1/2 cup water + 1/2 cup sugar + 2 rosemary sprigs for 5 minutes; cool and strain (keeps 2 weeks).
• Pitcher for 6: 3 cups juice · 2–4 tbsp syrup (to taste) · 1–2 tbsp lemon · 1 liter soda. Build over ice, stir gently.
• Less sweet: Use sparkling water instead of club soda and skip added sweetener.
