Welcome to this months addition of our herb infused cocktail series. I'm so excited about this drink, because one of our previous guests are partners in the distillery, Still Austin, that makes the Bourbon we are featuring. I have been waiting for the weather to cool down, which it has but not nearly enough for true fall feelings, to share this drink. Needless to say I could not wait any longer.
The honey rosemary syrup is so simple and delicious to make for this drink, I want to find other ways to use it in the kitchen. I think we might be baking up something special using this syrup. The rosemary really pops in the honey, while the honey ads just the right amount of sweetness to this drink.
Of course if you like your drinks a little sweeter just add a little bit more of the honey syrup. Not to much, otherwise the sweetness will become over powering. Our goal is to meld all the flavors into one.
Rosemary is such a strong flavor on its own, that the honey and the bourbon help to mellow it to just the right amount. The garnish of a rosemary spring and an orange peel bring out the look of this simple cocktail, just in time for fall weather and sipping around the camp fire.
Honey Rosemary Syrup

Honey Rosemary Bourbon
