SMOKED ROSEMARY NEGRONI 🥃⇩ Smoky and bold, with a hidden twist: a splash of artichoke liqueur adds a unique herbaceous depth to this beautiful Negroni.

Tip: No cocktail smoker set? No problem! Simply burn a sprig of rosemary and place your glass over the smoke for about 1 minute before pouring in the mixed cocktail.

SMOKED ROSEMARY NEGRONI:
Created by @thegandmkitchen
◦1 oz Empress 1908 Indigo Gin
◦1 oz Campari
◦1 oz Artichoke Liqueur
◦Leaves from 1 Rosemary Sprig

METHOD: In a glass filled with ice, combine Empress 1908 Indigo Gin, Campari, and artichoke liqueur. Place a smoker on top of the glass, adding fresh rosemary leaves and a mesh guard. Using a culinary torch, carefully ignite the rosemary leaves until the glass fills with smoke. Allow the smoke to infuse into the drink, then remove the smoker. Garnish with a burned rosemary sprig. Enjoy!

Sip responsibly!
