1/4 cup sugar Consider using agave syrup or honey for a more natural sweetener.
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped Fresh herbs elevate the drink; feel free to try mint or basil!
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger Fresh ginger enhances flavor over powdered options.

Let the syrup sit on low heat for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors of the herbs.

Fill your glasses with ice cubes, pour the wine mixture over the ice until three-quarters full, and top off with club soda.
