This Blueberry Lemon Rosemary Spritz is a study in balance—bright citrus, gentle sweetness, and an herbaceous backbone that feels both refreshing and composed. Juicy blueberries bring color and depth, while fresh lemon and rosemary lift the drink into something crisp and aromatic. A house-made Lemon Rosemary Syrup ties it all together, giving this zero-proof spritz the same layered intention as a classic cocktail. Lightly effervescent and beautifully restrained, it’s the kind of drink that feels celebratory without trying too hard.

Bright, herbaceous, and lightly effervescent, this mocktail delivers freshness with subtle depth, making it an easy choice for Dry January menus.
