By Sylvia Fountaine
Here’s a little holiday cheer to brighten in a cup, the Pomegranate Lime Drop Cocktail. Using Tito’s Handmade Vodka, I created this festive holiday drink featuring their small-batch Vodka, rosemary syrup, pomegranate juice and lime juice. Refreshingly tart, subtly sweet with a hint of rosemary, it’s my kind of cocktail.
Tito’s Handmade Vodka, if unfamiliar, is produced in Austin, Texas, in the state’s oldest legal distillery. The founder and distiller, Tito Beveridge makes his vodka in small batches, using old-fashioned pot stills, then tastes every batch to make sure it’s perfect.
The Rosemary simple syrup is easy to make- just add sugar and water and rosemary springs to a pot and heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
