Well balanced with a subtle punch of rosemary and gentian -- a true 'wunderwerk' :)

But the link is faulty, it points to Dec 18 instead of Nov 18 ;)

Should you not have rosemary syrup to hand you can muddle a rosemary sprig and add the same amount of sugar syrup.

I can’t believe the official units of alcohol though - surely a miscalculation!

The ingredients blend together nicely. I used a rosemary clove syrup and poitin from local (Ontario, Canada) producers. Bit sweeter than my bitter palate normally likes, but quite smooth and a nice alcoholic kick

This is a seriously good cocktail, with notes of chocolate emerging from the poitin. Alas, I fear I must not show it to my Irish neighbor who gave me the Poitin. I can hear her voice “Jayzus, just pour the poitin into a shot glass and knock it back already”.
