Rosemary Old Fashioned
Description
This cocktail features 2 ounces of rye whiskey mixed with ¼ ounce of rosemary syrup and 2 dashes of orange bitters. The rosemary syrup is prepared by simmering equal parts water and sugar with fresh rosemary sprigs, steeping the mixture off the heat for 10 minutes to infuse herbal flavors before removing the rosemary.
The drink is assembled by stirring the whiskey, rosemary syrup, and bitters in a rocks glass with ice to chill and dilute slightly. Garnishing with a rosemary sprig and orange peel adds visual appeal and enhances aroma. The resulting cocktail presents the spicy warmth of rye whiskey mellowed by the herbal sweetness of rosemary and brightened by orange notes.
This twist on the classic Old Fashioned offers a fresh herbal complexity, suitable as a contemplative sip in cocktails. It pairs well with light savory appetizers or as an after-dinner drink.
