Sippin Gypsy Holiday Sangria

Cheers Sippin Gypsy Team Gin! This post comes inspired by a recent visit to St. Augustine and some of the talented bartenders at one of my favorite local bars: Highball and Harvest.  I enjoy a good sangria, but for the holidays, I wanted to play with rosemary and change up the spirits in my holiday cocktail.  The result is a refreshing blend of Gin and red wine with notes of rosemary to make for a fun, fragrant holiday sip! Cheers and Happy Holidays!!!

Holiday Sangria:

1 oz. Gin (I love St. Augustine Gin)
2 oz. Red Wine 
3/4 oz St. Germaine Elderflower
1/2 oz. Grande Marnier
1.5 oz. Rosemary Simple Syrup (recipe below)
1 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Orange Juice
1/2 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1/2 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

Shake in tin with ice until tin is cold to the touch and pour into your glass and garnish with a sprig of Rosemary...Cheers!!!
​*This recipe also does well if made in large batches before a party

Rosemary Simple Syrup:

Bring to a rolling boil: 5 cups of water
Add: 2 cups Turbinado sugar, 25 sprigs of rosemary, the zest of 1 lemon and 3 pinches of salt

Boil for apx 15 minutes to reduce down.  
*do a taste test:
if too bitter, add salt
if too tart, add sugar
if too sweet, add water

Let cool completely (apx 2-4 hours) and fine strain into a container and store in fridge.
*if you add a splash of vodka (about an oz.) this simple syrup will last in your fridge for about 1 month.

What exactly does "sippin gypsy" mean? I thought it sounds really cute. It's like a really laid back style of hanging out. These are the right drinks for the job. I would love to just relax one day and think about nothing. What else can we do? Sometimes life gives us all the berries we need to survive. The best things in life are not really free but they aren't really that hard to achieve. We just need to be getting enough rest so our strength is always on top shape.
