Marissa's MediterraneanA sophisticated, non-alcoholic refresher that balances zesty lemon and earthy rosemary with a silky finish from premium olive oil.
In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, combine the fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, and rosemary leaves.
Muddle the rosemary slightly with a spoon to release those aromatic oils.
Add the extra virgin olive oil and a tiny pinch of sea salt to the mixture.
The salt balances the acidity of the lemon perfectly.
Fill the shaker with ice, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds.
Shaking hard is what creates that beautiful, frothy emulsion with the olive oil.
Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with fresh ice.
Top with sparkling water and garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and a lemon wheel.
Serve immediately while it's perfectly bubbly and cold!
For the best flavor, use a high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, a tightly sealed mason jar works perfectly! The pinch of sea salt is the secret to making the citrus flavors really pop.
