How to make a Foxy Lady Cocktail

There’s almost no better way to welcome the festive season that is Christmas, than to have a nice Christmas themed drink. For this own creation, I chose rosemary and sage as herbs, because not only their colours, but their smells are usually associated with Christmas and go really well with the pomegranate flavour. Also Gin, especially Tanqueray gin, is really suitable to underline the natural rosemary & sage flavour.

Cocktail Ingredients

4cl Tanqueray Gin

4cl pomegranate juice - 100% juice, unsweetened

1cl self-made sage and rosemary syrup

Splash of lemon juice - freshly squeezed

How to make the Rosemary and Sage Syrup

• In a small saucepan, combine half a cup of sugar and half a cup of water.

• Toss in a couple leaves of fresh sage and rosemary.

• Bring to a boil, and stir gently until the sugar has dissolved.

• Strain the leaves from the syrup and allow it to cool completely before using.

What you need for the Foxy Lady Cocktail Garnish

• 1 tsp. of pomegranate seeds

• Fresh sage and rosemary sprigs
