Le gin apporte une base nette et précise, tandis que la liqueur de fleur de sureau adoucit l’ensemble avec une touche florale délicate. Puis vient le romarin, subtil mais essentiel, apportant une signature aromatique raffinée.
Le résultat est parfaitement équilibré : frais, nuancé et naturellement sophistiqué.
Un cocktail qui n’essaie pas d’impressionner , il le fait simplement.

I went with a 4:1 ratio (and of course had to use St George Botanivore gin). I also used a few drops of rosemary tincture instead of the half sprig. Tasty!

Having made a few tasty Diffords cocktails with basil, was pleased to find these 13 cocktails involving rosemary. Like another reviewer, I did a 5:1 ratio of Hayman's to Elderflower and also added 10 ml water to make the drink less sweet and intense. Rosemary works beautifully with the gin herbal notes. On a 2nd mix, a bigger sprig meant the rosemary predominated. Very summery and delicate!

Tried this with a spritz of lemon zest on top. Nicely cut through the sweetness of the elderflower and complimented the woody rosemary.

I was out of London Dry gin (a rarity) and used Hayman's Old Tom instead. Same proportions and technique. Made a lovely cocktail.

A most beautiful and fragrant martini. Never used rosemary before in a cocktail- fabulous

I'd like to know where I can purchase that glass.

Hi William, the glass is about 15, maybe more, years old. We think it was produced at the time by Urban Bar but not available any longer.

1/2 sprig isn't very S.I.! I used just 1/2 ounce Elderflower and was pleased with the result.

This is an amazing martini. I go light on the elderflower and heavy on the Plymouth. The English Martini is the reason I remember to water my rosemary.
