Nutrition 

This cocktail is relatively light compared to cream-based or sugar-heavy drinks. The calories primarily come from the gin and simple syrup. Lemon juice adds vitamin C, while rosemary contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Using a lighter hand with syrup or opting for rosemary-infused syrup can enhance flavor without significantly increasing sugar content.
