for drink.
Drinks use rosemary via quick simple syrup infusion (1 sprig per 1 cup syrup at 180F for 10 minutes) or muddled fresh in cocktails — its pine-camphor fights sweetness and lifts gin, citrus, or grapefruit. Infuse past 15 minutes and rosmarinic acid pulls bitter. This page ranks substitutes by solubility in sugar syrups, mouthfeel in cold liquid, and whether the herb's aromatic profile pairs with the acid-sweet balance typical of cocktail and soda applications.

adjustment for drink
Use 0.5 tsp per 1 tsp rosemary. Mint dissolves easily in cold cocktails via muddling or quick syrup infusion (180F, 10 minutes). Shifts drinks from rosemary's gin-and-grapefruit territory to mojito, julep, or Moroccan tea profiles. Mouthfeel stays crisp; doesn't turn bitter at room temp over 30 minutes.
