Rosemary

A sprig of rosemary torched with a lighter and laid across a cocktail releases this incredible piney, smoky aroma before you even take a sip. It pairs naturally with gin, grapefruit, and honey — try it in a rosemary gin fizz or muddled into a whiskey sour. Making rosemary simple syrup is dead easy: simmer a few sprigs with sugar and water for ten minutes. The herb is sturdy enough to use as a garnish skewer for olives or citrus wheels, which looks impressive with minimal effort.
