Tips & Suggestions

  • Before garnishing, briefly torch the tip of the rosemary sprig just until it smokes slightly and does not charr to produce a rich, earthy scent that pairs well with the botanicals in the gin.

  • After the drink has been poured and swirled, use a fine dropper to add 2-3 drops of blue curaçao directly to the inner rim of the glass, allowing it to gradually trail down into the beverage for an artistic visual effect.
