Equipment

• Cocktail Shaker
• Strainer
• Mason Jar
• Measuring Cup

Ingredients

• 1 stem of rosemary about 1 Tbsp rosemary leaves
• 6 oz lemonade
• 4 oz bourbon
• 1 egg white
• 5-6 dashes of classic bitters

Instructions

• Prepare the Rosemary Infused Bourbon:
• Strip the leaves from the rosemary stem and place them in a small jar or glass.
• Pour the bourbon over the rosemary leaves.
• Allow the bourbon to infuse for at least 30 minutes. For a stronger rosemary flavor, you can let it infuse for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Mix the Cocktail:
• In a cocktail shaker, combine the rosemary-infused bourbon (strained), lemonade, egg white, and bitters.
• Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds. This helps to create a frothy texture from the egg white.
• Add Ice and Shake Again:
• Add a handful of ice to the shaker.
• Shake again vigorously until the mixture is well chilled, about another 15 seconds.
• Serve:
• Strain the mixture into a chilled glass. You can use a fine mesh strainer to ensure no ice or rosemary bits make it into the glass.
• Optionally, garnish with a small sprig of rosemary or a twist of lemon peel to enhance the presentation.
• Enjoy:
• Your Rosemary Bourbon Lemonade is ready! The herbal notes of the rosemary, combined with the richness of bourbon and the tanginess of lemonade, create a delightful spring cocktail.
