Making the rosemary simple syrup
Place all syrup ingredients into a small saucepan. Stir over a medium heat until all of the sugar has dissolved. Turn the heat off, cover the pan and leave it to infuse for half an hour. Strain the liquid into a container and place in the fridge. This can be stored for up to 4 weeks for more cocktails!
