I would suggest you make the rosemary and preserved lemon simple syrup in advance so you can whip this super refreshing, simple & bright cocktail on a whim.

*Our Preserved Lemon Paste is an all-natural product and is therefore subject to slight variations due to the amount of natural pectin in each batch. We recommend that customers who receive Preserved Lemon Paste with a more gel-like texture either blitz their desired amount in a blender or use a knife to gently run through the product on a cutting board until it reaches their desired texture
