Here is a fun and festive spritzer that is perfect for celebrating the holiday season. Whether you are entertaining for NYE or a Christmas Dinner, the Rosemary Tequila Spritzer is a definite crowd pleaser!Â

The star of this spritzer is the rosemary simple syrup. And if you’ve never made simple syrup before, don’t be scared. It’s seriously simple! You’ll boil equal parts sugar and water then simply boil until the sugar is dissolved. After that, you’ll remove from heat, add the rosemary and let is steep while the syrup cools. It will quickly draw out lots of flavor to use in your cocktail!
After that, all you’ll need to do is combine the rest of your Rosemary Tequila Spritzer ingredients with a bit of the syrup then you’ll be shaking, pouring, and cheers-ing in no time.
Cheers!

Hi Alex, just tested this for Christmas it’s delicious! Have a family member coming who is allergic to oranges do you think you this would be good with cranberry juice or would you do lemon?
Can I use topo Chico instead of champagne?
yes will be great!
Loved this drink! Will absolutely make again. We went with Hornitos Anejo that we had on hand and it paired nicely.
Really fun, don’t skimp on the rosemary garnish, it adds flavor and extra rosemary aroma! We used our leftover simple syrup for lattes for the adults and steamers for the kids the next day!
oh YUM! love the leftover ideas.
Can I use any tequila?
sure! Anything you love the taste of that is smooth.
trying to batch this for Christmas night for 8 guests. When you say shot do you mean 1.5 ounces? also I found kumquats to slice and float on top too. So excited!
yes (1.5 ounce shot). so fun with the kumquats!!
