The secret ingredient in this recipe is our homemade rosemary-lime simple syrup. The syrup works to bring out a subtle sweetness, while adding a slight floral note to this refreshing slushy.

Rosemary-Cherry Limeade Vodka Slushy

Combine sugar, water, 2 rosemary sprigs and zest in a large saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer for 3 minutes or until sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; discard rosemary. Cool for 20 minutes. 

Place rosemary syrup, cherry juice and lemon-lime soda in a blender. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. 

Add frozen cherries, ice cubes and vodka to blender. Cover and blend until slushy. If desired, garnish each drink with a rosemary sprig and lime slices.
