Warm Day; Springtime Twist On A French 75

Even though it's the middle of February, the last few days have been particularly warm in Los Angeles. Saturday we had some friends from Northern California visiting, and at the end of what felt like a spring day I decided to take a gin based French 75 for a spring time spin with rosemary simple syrup, meyer lemons and Brut rosé sparkling wine (we used Mumm but any good brand will do). The result was one incredibly refreshing cocktail.

2 oz dry gin
.5 oz rosemary simple syrup
fresh squeezed meyer lemon juice (half a lemon)
Shake, serve on the rocks and top with Brut rosé sparkling wine
