Apricot Rosemary Simple Syrup (makes 1 cup)
- Discard pits from apricots and cut the apricots into smaller pieces, 8 ish. No need to peel them. Roughly chop rosemary.

- Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cool, add into clean glass bottles and store in the fridge for 1 month.

- Run a rosemary sprig around the edges of a whiskey or Tom Collins glass. Strain the drink into the glass.
Notes
* I love this apricot rosemary simple syrup and I tend to use more than the standard 3/4 oz.
** If you double or triple the recipe, don’t use more than 1 egg white. It is enough for two-three cocktails.
