Built on a single shot of gin, the Orange Rosemary Collins extends the classic Collins framework with orange juice, lemon juice, rosemary syrup, and a soda water topping, garnished with a rosemary sprig and orange peel. The rosemary syrup introduces a piney, herbal note that distinguishes it from the plainer lemon-and-gin original, adding fragrance and complexity. Assembled in a highball glass at roughly 15 percent ABV, it is a contemporary craft variation suited to herb-forward menus, where the interplay of citrus, soda, and rosemary defines its character.

History & Origins
Orange Rosemary Collins is a contemporary riff on the classic Tom Collins, which dates to the 1870s and is attributed to bartender Tom Collins of the Planter's Hotel in St. Louis, though the exact origin is disputed. The incorporation of rosemary syrup reflects the early 21st century craft cocktail movement's enthusiasm for culinary herbs and house-made syrups. No single creator is definitively credited with this particular variation.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Bright orange and lemon citrus with a pronounced piney, aromatic rosemary note and underlying gin botanicals. Palate: Refreshing and citrus-forward with the gin's botanical character meeting the freshness of orange and lemon; rosemary syrup delivers an herbaceous, almost savoury sweetness that distinguishes this from a standard Collins. Finish: Clean and herbal with a lingering rosemary and citrus brightness.
Pro Tip
Slap the fresh rosemary garnish between your palms before placing it on the drink to release the aromatic oils and amplify the herbal character with every sip.
