Wolfsbane Potion Cocktail
- 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 oz Black Moon gin* or other smoked rosemary gin
- ½ oz dry vermouth
- ½ oz green chartreuse
- 1 oz Rosemary Simple Syrup
- ½ oz lemon juice
- extra sprigs fresh rosemary for garnish
Instructions
Rosemary Simple Syrup
- In a saucepan combine the water and sugar. Place over high heat and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally to completely dissolve the sugar. Add 4 rosemary stems and let simmer for another minute. Then, remove from the heat, cover, and let steep for 20-30 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer and discard the rosemary. Let the syrup cool before using. The syrup will keep for 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge. This will make enough syrup for around 8 cocktails.
Wolfsbane Potion Cocktail
- Cut the rosemary sprigs and make into a small bundle, about 2 inches in length that will fit under a coupe glass. Have a coupe glass and fireproof plate ready to go. Ignite the rosemary holding it in the flame until it is heavily smoking. Place the bundle on the plate and immediately cover it with an upside down coupe glass. It's ok if there are flames from the rosemary, the glass will snuff them out quickly.
- Allow the glass to sit for a couple of minutes before lifting it up. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker add the smoked rosemary gin, dry vermouth, green chartreuse, rosemary simple syrup, and lemon juice. Add ice, then cover and shake for 10 to 15 seconds. Strain into the prepared coupe glass. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Light the rosemary using a lighter or match and let the flame burn out. Serve immediately and enjoy!
