Herbal Refreshing

Rosemary Blue is an elegant gin-and-tonic variation that combines gin with Blue Curaçao and tonic water, garnished with a fresh rosemary sprig, served in a large balloon glass. The Blue Curaçao gives the drink its striking teal-blue colour while adding a bittersweet orange peel flavour that complements the gin botanicals, and the rosemary garnish introduces a piney, herbal aroma. It is a modern, visually dramatic gin cocktail well suited to gin-and-tonic enthusiasts.

History & Origins

Rosemary Blue is a contemporary craft cocktail that belongs to the global gin and tonic renaissance of the 2010s, when premium tonic waters and elaborate garnishes transformed the simple G&T into a complex sensory experience, particularly in Spanish and British gin culture. The addition of Blue Curaçao for colour and flavour reflects the contemporary cocktail movement's enthusiasm for visually striking, photographable drinks. No single creator is definitively credited.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh rosemary, gin botanicals, bittersweet orange peel from the Curaçao, and the quinine bitterness of the tonic. Palate: Crisp and botanical with gin's juniper and herbs driving the palate, Blue Curaçao adding a bittersweet orange flavour, tonic water providing effervescence and quinine bitterness, and the rosemary garnish contributing a piney aromatic backdrop. Finish: Dry, herbal, and bitter with a clean gin and rosemary echo.

Pro Tip

Add the gin and Blue Curaçao to the balloon glass first and swirl to combine before adding ice and tonic water, then place the rosemary sprig so it rests against the ice and infuses the drink slowly.
