Place a fresh rosemary sprig on a heatproof surface and light it with a lighter or torch.
Once it starts smoking, invert the rocks glass over the rosemary to capture the smoke. Let it sit for a few moments to infuse the glass with the smoky aroma. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, campari, and sweet vermouth.
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently until well chilled and diluted (about 30 seconds).
Strain the mixture over a large ice cube into the smoked rocks glass.
Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
Enjoy your Smoked Rosemary Boulevardier!
