The Zesty Evergreen

The Zesty Evergreen

A citrusy sparkler with a warm hug — this cocktail balances Best Zest’s grapefruit-forward fizz with earthy rosemary and cozy cinnamon for a fresh-yet-fall twist that works in any season.

Gather around a bonfire and share this delightful Fable masterpiece with friends.


Ingredients

–2 oz Fable Best Zest
–1 oz non-alcoholic Gin (Ritual or other citrus-forward option)
–0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice
–0.5 oz Honey syrup (1:1 honey and hot water)
–1 small sprig fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
–1 dash ground cinnamon (or a cinnamon stick for garnish)
–Optional: Splash of club soda for extra lift

Instructions

Muddle the rosemary gently in a shaker with lemon juice and honey syrup to release its oils. Add non-alcoholic gin, cinnamon (a small dash—go easy), and ice. Shake until well chilled (about 10–15 seconds).

Strain into a rocks glass with ice or a coupe. Top with Fable Best Zest and an optional splash of club soda if you like it fizzier. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and a thin slice of lemon or grapefruit. For bonus points, flame the rosemary slightly for aroma.
