How to Make Sparkling Meyer Lemon Cocktail

  1. In a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 sprigs fresh rosemary.
  2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
  3. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes to allow the rosemary to infuse.
  5. Remove the rosemary sprigs and discard.
  6. Refrigerate the simple syrup until thoroughly chilled (at least 30 minutes).
  7. In a pitcher, gently combine the chilled simple syrup, 1/2 cup Meyer lemon juice (or substitute: 9 tbsp lemon juice + 3 tbsp orange juice + 1.5 tsp sugar), 1/2 cup vodka, and 2 cups chilled Prosecco.
  8. Stir gently to combine. Serve immediately in chilled champagne flutes or glasses, garnished with a lemon twist or rosemary sprig (optional).
