Palm Breeze Ruby Red Gin Spritz

While cooking is a relatively new endeavor for me, creating cocktails has been a favorite hobby of mine for many years.... 7 if you want to be exact! That feeling of pride a cook gets when they throw a bunch of random ingredients in a skillet and wind up with a modern day masterpiece, that's the feeling I get when developing a new cocktail that everyone devours. I take great pride in both cocktail concocting, and cocktail drinking! We have a fantastic hole-in-the-wall craft cocktail bar in my neighborhood, and I could post up at the bar for hours and watch the bartenders create magic in a glass! 
If you follow me on instagram, you'll know I was working on a pretty little "summin summin" last night. I was making a Palm Breeze Ruby Red Gin Spritz with Rosemary Ice Cubes.... and man was it good. CB even loved it --- sorry bud, I'm sure your man card is going to get taken away after I just tattled on you like that.  The main ingredient in this beachy, über-feminine cocktail is Palm Breeze Ruby Red Citrus, which is a sparkling alcohol spritz. Palm Breeze, which also comes in a Pineapple Mandarin Orange flavor, is a flavored malt beverage which basically means it’s an alcoholic drink made with a malt base, kind of like beer. 

Even though it is delicious by itself, I had some gin on the shelf and fresh rosemary on hand, so I decided to mix those in. This recipe would be perfect for a girl's night, or if you're simply feeling like you need a little sliver of tropical oasis in your life.

Directions Chop rosemary and place in ice tray.
