A Tailor At Home Cocktail - elegantly refreshing
This is not my cocktail recipe. I found it online and I’m keeping it on twimii because I love it and want to be sure and keep a copy of it. It is a take on a French 75 cocktail by Tailors Speakeasy, a bar and restaurant in Luxembourg.
This cocktail is made with sparkling white wine, lime juice, a rosemary infused simple syrup and ice. It is so delicious and refreshing. And even though it has ice in it I think this is a great celebratory drink at any time of year.
