Orange Rosemary Collins is a herbaceous citrus Collins variation built with gin, orange, lemon, rosemary syrup, and soda water. It keeps the tall, sparkling structure of a Collins while moving the aromatic center toward orange peel and fresh rosemary.
Fill a highball glass with ice. Add gin, orange juice, lemon juice, and rosemary syrup, then stir to combine. Top with cold soda water and lift once with a bar spoon. Garnish with a rosemary sprig.
Serve tall over ice with visible bubbles and a single rosemary sprig. The garnish should smell fresh and herbal, because aroma is a major part of the drink's identity.
Pair it with goat cheese crostini, grilled fish, lemon chicken, herb-roasted vegetables, or focaccia. Rosemary and orange both work well with savory herbs, olive oil, and light grilled dishes.
The drink is a contemporary riff on the Tom Collins template: spirit, citrus, sweetener, and soda. Rosemary syrup and orange juice shift the classic lemon-gin profile into a more Mediterranean, garden-style serve.
Ideal for brunch, garden parties, spring and summer dinners, or aperitivo service when a sparkling gin drink feels right.
The first impression is bright orange and lemon, followed by piney rosemary and clean gin botanicals. Soda water keeps the finish crisp and lengthened.
Fresh, polished, and aromatic, with a culinary edge from the rosemary.
Use blood orange juice for richer color, or swap rosemary syrup for thyme syrup for a softer herbal profile. A London dry gin keeps the drink crisp; a citrus-forward gin makes it rounder.
