Not enough raisin flavour IMO. Next time I will try using Pedro Jimenez sherry which tastes like syrupy raisins. The rosemary could be upped too.

I just have to comment on this one. I thought it was a BS recipe, and considered using Harvey's or a port instead of the raisins, but I religiously followed it to a T. The Rosemary is of course fantastic, and carries the drink. But the raisins are a nice background flavour that pairs well. Go easy on the sugar syrup, it could use a bit less. (Although this is #5 or Friday's Rosemary Sprig drinks and ratings weightings change as the day goes on)
