Ingredients

• 2 pieces large orange wedges
• 1 sprig rosemary sprig, plus one to garnish
• 60 ml fresh orange juice
• 5 ml Simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water) (optional)
• 150 ml soda water, chilled
• 1 tsp Pomegranate seeds (optional)
• 1 cinnamon stick, to stir (optional)
• Ice

Method

1. Put the orange wedges and the rosemary leaves stripped from one sprig in a sturdy glass.
2. Press firmly with a muddler several times to squeeze out the juice and release the rosemary’s scent.
3. Add the orange juice and syrup (if using), fill with ice and top with soda water.
4. Stir, then garnish with the second rosemary sprig, the pomegranate seeds and a cinnamon stick.

Tips

• Blood oranges in winter give a stunning colour.
• For a party, warm the rosemary sprig garnish briefly over a flame for a smoky, piney aroma.
