This is a favourite. It’s the closest that I’ve been able to come to a cocktail that one of the local restaurants had that has unfortunately gone away. It’s good.
Makes 2:
- 3 shots bourbon
- 1 1/2 shots fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 shot dark amber maple syrup
- 1 large sprig of rosemary (plus 2 small sprigs for garnish)
Add all ingredients (except the garnish) to a mixing jug and stir well to mix. Pour over ice (a single large cube if you’re obnoxious), then garnish each glass with a sprig of rosemary.
Variations: You can try garnishing the rim with sugar and toasting the rosemary. That would be the closest to the one at the restaurant.
