This is such a refreshing one! It’s light, a little sweet, but with wonderful herbacious undertones. Just try it!

This cocktail was inspired by some jelly I made recently. Here’s the recipe: rosehip and crab apple jelly. You could easily swap this jelly out for other types of preserves, but I would recommend you experiment with the ratios so you get a well balanced drink.

The addition of the rosemary sprig garnish is specifically to enhance the herbacious undertones in gin and jelly. If you use a different jelly you could leave it out or equally swap it for mint or lemon verbena, both of which are great with sweeter fruit preserves.
