Step-by-step

How to make

  1. Muddle the rosemary sprig in your cocktail shaker to release its oils.

  2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the shaker and dry-shake with no ice.

  3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again.

  4. Strain the drink into a chilled coupe glass.

  5. Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig.

  6. To make Vanilla syrup : Add 250g white sugar, 250ml water and a vanilla pod to a saucepan.

  7. Carefully slice the vanilla pod lengthways first to release the flavour. A teaspoon/5ml of vanilla extract will also work. Heat on a medium low heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to sit for an hour. Strain out the vanilla pod, bottle and refrigerate.
