My graduation present from my parents was my family signet ring. As my father leaves for Afghanistan tonight, it’s a beautiful reminder of the thing which is more important than everything: family honour.

Recipe time! So here’s how to make one of my all time favourite summer cocktails, I posted this recipe back in 2009 when I had all of 10 followers-nabbed from Brix Picks (the blog that started me blogging)! Here is a simple recipe for Rosemary Lemon Vodka Fizz. It’s bright and light and with that ever so trendy twinge of a savoury herb. It couldn’t be easier to execute.

Simply squeeze

1 cup of fresh lemon juice,

Combine it with

1 cup sugar

And Two 8- inch sprigs of Rosemary.

Bring to a boil, and let simmer for two minutes.

After you let it cool combine with one part vodka and as much as one part seltzer water and go!

Pro tips: Garnish with sprigs of rosemary, smelling the herb goes a long way as far as enhancing it’s flavour without being overpowering. Also, if you don’t have time to wait an hour for your syrup to cool, put it in a bowl of ice water for 20 minutes or less. Enjoy!!
