This week’s cocktail started with a question. What could I make with grapefruit bitters? I picked up the grapefruit bitters because we like to use grapefruit in a number of our cocktails. However, the subtle grapefruit bittering agent needs to be paired with a savory simple syrup, which is how we arrived at our Rosemary Apocethary whiskey cocktail.
For this cocktail, we decided to use rosemary simple syrup. One could easily use regular simple syrup, but the savory rosemary balances the sweetness of the orgeat syrup. With a few dashes of bitters and a squeeze of lemon juice, you get a sweet and savory cocktail sure to please the biggest skeptic. We liked this one best with Axe and the Oak Bourbon.

For the orgeat syrup, we used Fee Brothers. We think they make some of the best cocktail syrups on the market. You can generally find Fee Brothers in a liquor store near you.
The Rosemary Apocethary is perfect on ice for those warm, later summer days. However, as we transition to fall, you could also enjoy this cocktail sans ice when the evening weather turns cooler and you find yourself reaching for a light jacket. Either way, you are sure to enjoy our Rosemary Apocethary, so make sure you put it on your menu.
Happy Exploring!
