Ingredients
- Rosemary Syrup
- 8 large rosemary sprigs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- Cocktail
- Green Chartreuse
- Ice
- 2 ounces Hacienda del Sotol Plata
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice
- ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- 1 dash Peychaud’s Bitters
- Rosemary sprig
Directions
- Make the rosemary simple syrup: In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the rosemary, sugar and 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve and store in a covered container or bottle. The rosemary syrup will keep, refrigerated, up to 2 weeks.
- Rinse a Collins glass with the Chartreuse and discard the excess. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the sotol, lime juice, lemon juice, ½ ounce of the rosemary syrup and the egg white. Cover and shake for 2 minutes. Strain into the Chartreuse-rinsed glass. Add a dash of the bitters on top and swirl delicately. Garnish with the rosemary sprig and serve.
