Chef notes
The tart citrus juices and the earthy rosemary combined with the sweet agave syrup make this drink irresistibly refreshing. A splash of club soda adds a fun fizz, but is not necessary.
Technique tip: Stirring everything in a mixing glass before transferring into a drinking glass will make sure the cocktail is properly proportioned.
Swap option: You can experiment with other herbs like thyme or the traditional mint leaves, or for a "mocktail" omit the vodka and add more club soda.
