Instructions

- Make the rosemary sugar rim: Combine the rosemary and sugar and spread on a small plate.
- To make one cocktail rub the edge of a low glass with water or lemon wedge. Then press the glass onto the plate, turning the glass to coat the edges in the rosemary sugar.
- Add ice to the glass, pour over the honey ginger simple syrup, ritual gin and top with sparkling water.
To make the herb sauce
- With a mortar and pestle, make the herb sauce by combining fresh basil, dill, olive oil, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Set aside.
To make the blood orange pistachio burrata
- Arrange the orange segments and chopped pistachios on a small platter.
- Break the burrata into pieces over the orange segments and pistachios.
- Drizzle the herb sauce over the salad. Enjoy with toasted bread of your choice.

Notes
If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, you can pulse the herb sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor to make the sauce.
If you can’t find burrata, a soft ball of mozzarella cheese would also work.
A delicious substitute for the pistachios would be chopped almonds.
