Whiskey
The Rosemary Bourbon Cocktail can be described as a sweeter Old Fashioned for the modern era. It’s up to you to decide if it’s better, but there is a core ingredient that makes this cocktail stiff competition. Rosemary Honey Syrup, as easy to make as simple syrup, provides that sweet, almost nostalgic taste while the woodsy rosemary remains subtle and distinguished.
Ingredients
Rosemary Honey Syrup
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup water
- 2 fresh sprigs of rosemary
Rosemary Bourbon Cocktail
- 2 ¼ ounces bourbon
- 4 tsp rosemary honey syrup
- 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
- Ice
- 1 orange peel
- 1 Rosemary sprig
Preparation
Rosemary Honey Syrup
- Pour the honey and water into a saucepan and stir to dissolve the honey. Place the rosemary sprig into the honey water. Place the saucepan over high and heat until the liquid comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, remove the rosemary sprig. The syrup will keep in the fridge for about a week.
Rosemary Bourbon Cocktail
- Place 2-3 ice cubes into a rocks glass and set aside. Using a paring knife or a vegetable peeler, peel a 3" strip from an orange for garnish.
- Fill a shaker with ice. Pour the bourbon, rosemary honey syrup, and bitters into the cocktail shaker. Stir to combine, and pour the cocktail into the rocks glass.
- Twist the orange peel over the cocktail and garnish with a rosemary sprig.
