Instructions:
Prepare the glass:
Place a small amount of water or juice on a plate. Dip the glass on the plate to wet the rim of the glass.
Grind Summa Salt Thai Basil Salt onto a separate plate.
Dip the glass onto the plate with the salt and roll the top of the glass to make the salt stick. Set aside.
Prepare the Herb Infusion:
In a small saucepan, combine one sprig of rosemary and 2 sprigs thai basil with 1/2 cup of water.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the herbs steep in the water for another 5 minutes.
Strain the infused water into a bowl or pitcher, discarding the herbs. Let it cool completely.
Mix the Cocktail Base:
In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the cooled herb-infused water with honey or simple syrup and fresh lime juice.
If using vodka, add it to the shaker as well.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake well to combine and chill the mixture.
Assemble the Spritzers:
Fill two glasses with ice cubes.
Strain the cocktail mixture evenly into the glasses, dividing it between them.
Top with sparkling water:
Pour sparkling water or club soda into each glass, filling it to the top.
Stir gently to mix the cocktail with the sparkling water.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish each spritzer with a slice of lime and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Serve immediately. If you prefer a sweeter spritzer, you can adjust the amount of honey or simple syrup to taste.
