Notes

  • The flavor, body, smoothness, and more vary widely between types of bourbon. You can use whatever bourbon suits your palate best!
  • Spruce tip syrup can be made by harvesting spruce tips in the spring. If you don't have them in your area or you missed the boat this year, you can also buy spruce tip syrup online or sometimes at local farmers' markets.
  • The lemon twist enhances the citrusy flavor of the spruce tip syrup while the fresh rosemary adds to the herbaceous aroma. The pairing of the two creates the perfect garnishes for this drink!
  • Let the rosemary float on top of the ice cube to inhale the aroma as you take a sip.
