Instructions

Indulge in a sensory journey through Scotland's rolling hills and Italy's herbaceous countryside with the Highland Rosemary Caress. This cocktail offers an exquisite marriage of scotch's smoky depth and amaro's bittersweet complexity, all complemented by the aromatic allure of rosemary. A luscious layer of sweetness weaves these robust flavors into a harmonious libation, perfect for a relaxing evening or a sophisticated gathering. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Scotch whisky, preferably a smoother variety with honeyed notes - 0.75 oz Amaro, select one with a nuanced, herbal profile - 0.5 oz Honey syrup (equal parts honey and warm water, stirred until combined) - 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice - Fresh rosemary sprig - A small pinch of sea salt - Rosemary-infused simple syrup (optional for added sweetness and flavor) - Ice cubes - Sparkling water (optional, to top up) Garnish: - Lemon wheel - Rosemary sprig Glass: - Old Fashioned glass Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, gently muddle the fresh rosemary sprig to release its essential oils. 2. Add the Scotch, Amaro, honey syrup, and fresh lemon juice into the glass with the muddled rosemary. 3. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a splash (about 1/4 to 1/2 oz) of rosemary-infused simple syrup to the mix. 4. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the concoction until well-chilled. 5. Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass filled with ice, leaving behind the muddled rosemary. 6. If desired, add a small pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors and add a savory touch. 7. Optionally, top up the cocktail with a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing fizz. 8. Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and a carefully placed lemon wheel, allowing the citrus to complement the herbal notes. 9. Serve immediately and enjoy the intertwining of sweet, smoky, and aromatic flavors in your Highland Rosemary Caress. Savor the interplay of the Scottish highlands and Italian amaro gardens, all in one delightful sip.
