Winter Champagne Punch with Honey Rosemary Simple Syrup
Winter champagne punch with refined sugar-free, honey rosemary simple syrup.
This is my last entry for 2016.
This feels good.
My brain and body are craving a new start.
For fresh energy and movement.
I’m ready to ring in a new year.
And I’ll be doing so with this winter champagne punch. A bright and citrusy batch cocktail built for a party big or small. Easy to double or triple and comes together in ten minutes or less. Besides the simmered honey rosemary simple syrup, it’s a dump and pour kind of situation. Garnish liberally with rosemary sprigs and citrus slices and let your guests ladle the night away.
See you in 2017 folks.

Any champagne, or dry sparkling wine will work in this recipe. If you want to mix the punch beforehand, combine all of the ingredients except the sparkling water and champagne. Refrigerate and add in the last two ingredients right before you're ready to serve.

Use cane sugar in place of honey to make this vegan. Add the sugar in with the water during the boiling process. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week, until you're ready to use.
