Tips & Suggestions
To make rosemary-infused agave, gently warm up the nectar with fresh rosemary sprigs until lukewarm and steep for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more assertive flavour. Strain well before chilling.
Instead of just laying a rosemary sprig, lightly slap it between the palms just before garnishing to release aromatic oils, which considerably improve the drink’s fragrance bouquet.
FAQs
Amateur mixologists can simply combine vodka with soda, tonic or juice, such as cranberry or orange. Start with 1 part vodka and 2-3 parts mixer, according to preference; serve over ice with a citrus garnish.
