A fragrant cocktail where amaro takes the lead.

Crisp rosemary and bright bubbles balance the richness of Cognac and amaro in Rosemary’s Ring, a vibrant cocktail from the team at Bible Club in Portland, Oregon.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz. Amaro Nonino
1/2 oz. Cognac
1/4 oz. rosemary syrup
chilled sparkling wine

Tools:barspoon, strainer
Glass:large flute or wine
Garnish:rosemary sprig

Preparation

Roll the rosemary sprig with your palm to express the oils, then rub it around the inside of a glass. In a mixing glass, stir all of the ingredients with ice, then strain into the prepared glass, adding the sprig as garnish.

Rosemary Syrup: Combine 1 cup each of water and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add 2 to 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, and once the mixture comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and let the syrup come to room temperature. Strain out the solids, then bottle for use; keeps refrigerated for up to 1 month.
