Rhubarb Rosemary Lemonade Spritzer

Paul and I headed down to Esquimalt Lagoon today to watch the Navy Centennial activities with some friends. To quench our thirst on this hot sunny day, I whipped up some of this delicious fizzy beverage to take with us. It was pretty good on its own, but next time I will try it with some gin or vodka.
