Speaking of Rosemary and Fall…
Last Fall, our friend whom we’ve coined “cocktail maestro” mixed up an incredible Rosemary Gimlet for us. Terriffic! A soul warmed by spirits to be sure… and a visually inspiring drink as well.
Sometimes the vision of a shot starts somewhere in your mind and finishes really differently. This was the beginning... We discussed the overall feeling and lighting and decided this was not it! Changed the background, lighting and props.
In the making...

Our friend got the recipe from www.davidlebovitz.com

To make 4 gimlets…
Rosemary Syrup
1/2 cup (125ml) water
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
2 tablespoons (4g) coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Rosemary Gimlet
2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
3/4 ounce rosemary syrup
1. To make the rosemary syrup, heat the water, sugar and chopped rosemary leaves in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Once cool, strain the rosemary syrup into a jar, and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. To make the rosemary gimlet, chill a stemmed cocktail glass in the freezer.
3. Measure the gin, lime juice and rosemary syrup into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice, preferably slightly crushed, cover, and shake the cocktail mixture about thirty seconds. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a slice of fresh lime.
