ROSEMARY OLD FASHIONED

Old Fashioned are always great for sipping on in the colder months.

This variation, the Rosemary Old Fashioned, uses rosemary to provide a nice herbaceous note and orange bitters to round out the drink.

Rosemary Manhattan Cocktail?

You can also use this recipe to make a brilliant Rosemary Manhattan. Simply muddle the fresh rosemary with 1/4 ounce of sweet vermouth.

Then leave the rosemary sprig in the glass, stir in the whiskey and bitter, and add a cherry!
