Hi beautiful friends! We made it through the week! And if you’re reading this and it’s not Friday, well…you’re gonna make it through the week I promise! I made this Bourbon honey lemon rosemary cocktail last weekend and wanted to share it with all of you. It’s super easy to make and has such a nice kick. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Serves: 1
Ingredients:
4 sprigs Rosemary
1oz lemon juice
2oz bourbon
1.5oz honey syrup – see notes
1oz soda water
Notes:
- How to make honey syrup: you can do either 1:1 honey to water ratio, but I did 2:1 ratio of honey to water ratio because I think it tastes better in this drink. If you prefer a more even taste, stick with 1:1. Warm up the water and honey in a pot until fully dissolved into each other and in liquid form. Let it cool for a minute or two before adding to cocktail.
- Alternative to muddler: end of wooden spoon or utensil, mortar and pestle, rolling pin, end of ladle, anything that will smash!
Instructions:
1. First, make your honey syrup and set it aside to cool for a few minutes.
2. In a glass (pint glass preferred), put 3 sprigs rosemary and 1oz lemon juice. With a muddler or alternative (see notes), muddle the rosemary about 15-20 times without pressing down too hard. Once done, pour into a shaker.
3. Add 2oz Bourbon (we usually use Basil Hayden’s and they have an entire list of their own cocktails– yum) and 1.5oz honey syrup to shaker. Add ice and shake for about 10-15 seconds.
4. Fill a cocktail glass with ice and pour the content of the shaker into the glass. Top with 1oz soda water, lemon slice, and a sprig of rosemary.
5. LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!!!!!
That’s all for this Bourbon honey lemon rosemary cocktail and that’s all for this lovely Friday! I hope you all have a beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful weekend and let me know if you end up trying this cocktail.
HAPPY FRIDAY 🙂
