Strawberry Rosemary Spritzer

Picture this. You’re sitting in a rocking chair out on the back porch, listening to some soothing music, and sipping from a tall glass of a refreshing drink. Ahh, spring is in the air!

Something I like to make when the weather is beautiful and I want something sweet and savory is my recipe for Strawberry Rosemary Spritzer. This drink is so yummy that I recommend you make a batch and keep a pitcher full in the fridge.

You won’t have to feel guilty drinking down a glass or two. Strawberries have many health benefits. They’re rich in antioxidants and support your immune system. Rosemary has anti-inflammatory compounds that can improve blood circulation and antioxidants to boost your immune system.

Play with the sweetness to find just the right amount for you. The recipe calls for one tablespoon of maple syrup, or if you prefer, you can substitute honey or a few drops of stevia.
