The Wintertime Tea is a winter cocktail that was created by food writer and author Jessica Strand and was first published in Very Merry Cocktails: 50+ Festive Drinks for the Holiday Season. The book listed a simple non-alcoholic recipe that added a few ounces of rosemary syrup to the classic Arnold Palmer template of ice tea mixed with lemonade. But this boozier version also mixes in some Yellow Chartreuse for even more herbal complexity.
Fill a highball glass with cracked ice.
Add tea, Yellow Chartreuse, and winter herb syrup to highball glass.
Top with sparkling lemonade.
Using a bar spoon, gently stir for 3-5 seconds.
Garnish with lemon slice and rosemary sprig.
