Creating the Rosemary Orange Zinger is simple and enjoyable if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Rosemary Infusion: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Add Rosemary: Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the saucepan. Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the rosemary flavor into the simple syrup.
3. Cool the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Strain out the rosemary leaves if desired.
4. Mix the Base: In a large pitcher, combine fresh orange juice with the cooled rosemary syrup. Stir well to combine.
5. Serve Over Ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the Rosemary Orange Zinger over the ice, filling each glass.
6. Garnish: Add orange slices and fresh rosemary sprigs to each glass for an elegant presentation.
7. Optional Variations: If you prefer a cocktail version, consider adding a splash of gin or vodka to each glass before serving.
