Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense rosemary flavor, use fresh rosemary instead of dried. You can substitute the frozen lemonade with fresh lemon juice and a bit of sugar for a homemade touch. If you want a sweeter drink, consider adding a splash of grenadine. Remember to serve immediately after adding ginger ale to keep the fizz intact.
