Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Beefeater Gin
  • 0.75 oz rosemary-thyme honey syrup
  • 0.75 oz lemon juice
  • 1 small piece of cinchona bark or a few dashes of tonic bitters
  • Rosemary sprig for garnish
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  • Dry Shake: In a shaker, combine gin, rosemary-thyme honey syrup, lemon juice, cinchona bark (or tonic bitters), and egg white. Shake without ice for about 15 seconds to create a frothy texture.
  • Shake Again: Add ice and shake vigorously for another 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain and Serve: Double strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
  • Garnish: Lightly torch a rosemary sprig or simply place it on top for an aromatic touch.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For the best honey syrup, combine equal parts honey and hot water with fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs, letting them infuse for at least 30 minutes before straining.
  • If using cinchona bark, lightly crush it before adding to the shaker to extract its bitter, tonic-like essence.
  • Torching the rosemary garnish before serving will release even more aromatics, creating a sensory experience before the first sip.
