Instructions
In a 2 1/2- to 3-quart pitcher, combine mint and rosemary sprigs and sugar. With a long-handled wooden spoon, muddle (or crush) herbs and sugar together. Squeeze juice from oranges into the pitcher, then drop quarters in. Press a few times with a spoon to release oil from orange peels. Stir in gin, lime juice, and 1/2 cup ice water.
Mix until sugar is dissolved. If using martini glasses, chill in the freezer.
To serve, slowly pour chilled club soda into pitcher, pouring down the side. Stir gently to blend.
Pour through a strainer into chilled martini glasses or ice-filled glasses. Float a mint leaf on top of each. Make ahead: Up to 4 hours, chilled in a pitcher; however, since crushed mint turns dark after about 20 minutes, strain the mixture just before guests arrive, return it to the pitcher, and add a handful of fresh mint leaves.
