Christmas Cocktail | Blood Orange + Rosemary Martini

Blood Orange + Rosemary Martini

The season of festive parties and family gatherings is the perfect time to get creative with new recipes. We love the simple, fresh ingredients and the punchy Christmas colours of this twist on the martini cocktail. Delight your party guests or simply rustle up a couple to enjoy at home this weekend.

We have used our Fleur table linen to create a beautiful summer feel. Each piece is hand block printed by skilled artisans which creates unique variations in the print.

Rosemary simple syrup ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 5 sprigs of rosemary 

Cocktail ingredients

• 2 shots (60ml) of your favourite gin
• 2 shots of freshly squeezed blood orange juice
• 1 shot of rosemary simple syrup
• To garnish: blood orange slices and rosemary sprigs

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! 

Making the cocktails

Add the gin, blood orange juice and rosemary simple syrup to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake it up then strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a blood orange slice and sprig of rosemary. Cheers!
