Pomegranate Rosemary Spritzer

pom_spritzer-3

Helllooo Tuesday!  This is no ordinary Tuesday because today we’re celebrating Jess from How Sweet Eats and her pregnancy!!! It’s a virtual baby shower!  I’m not super savvy with how virtual parties work (ok this is my first!), but I do love celebrating rad women doing amazing things!!!  And honestly what is more amazing than GROWING A HUMAN BEING?!   Nothing.  Nothing at all.   So Jess, hugest congrats to you and yours, that’s one lucky baby you’ve got sprouting in there!  I made you a cocktail.  (insert toothy emoji smile).  I know, kind of a dick move since you can’t drink at the moment.  BUT, I’m the gal that drinks too much champagne at real life baby showers and says embarrassing/inappropriate things to whoever is unfortunate enough to get stuck talking to me.  So this is actually wildly appropriate and with the wonders of technology will still be here when you CAN enjoy a fizzy, sparkly, pomegranate-y drink once more!  Congrats again!!!  Happy baby shower-ing!!! xx- Sarah

    Don’t worry Sarah, I used to cater/bartend at baby showers all the time. One of the best (most necessary) places to have a drink. Gorgeous sptrizer!!

    I have re-read the recipe a few times, and I don’t see the directions for the schnapps!

      Thanks Sara! I got them at Crate and Barrel years ago. Sadly we’ve broken a few of them and when I’ve tried to track them to replace they’re no where to be found. 🙁

    Do you think the rosemary simple syrup could be made a day or two in advance without sacrificing taste? And if so, would you recommend keeping it in the fridge? Thanks!

      Hi Sarah! Yes- it will be fine made in advance! And yes, store in the refrigerator. 🙂

    I have a question for anyone who has tried making this – if I wanted to serve at a holiday party (25ish people), is this taking the whole bottle of prosecco? or would I need to adjust to do that (and multiple bottles)?
