Few of the drinks on our menu are quite as welcoming as our charred rosemary bourbon cocktail.
As the name suggests, this drink starts with a foundation of vegan bourbon. From there, our bartenders add a combination of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and agave nectar, providing enough flavor.
Finally, a garnish of charred rosemary adds a smoky and herbaceous complexity to the cocktail, turning this otherwise simple drink into something too elegant to forget!

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of agave nectar
1/4 cup of water
2 ounces of vegan bourbon
- 3 fresh sprigs of rosemary
1 orange
Instructions
- Begin by making your rosemary-infused syrup. Combine two rosemary sprigs, agave nectar, and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and then allow the syrup to simmer for around five minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool.
- In a shaker, squeeze the juice from the orange. Add the bourbon, a drizzle of syrup, and just a few ice cubes. Close the cocktail shaker and vigorously shake the contents for around sixty seconds.
- Fill your favorite cocktail serving glass halfway with ice. Pour your cocktail over the ice and sample. If too strong, add a splash of water to weaken it; if too bitter, a few drops of lemon juice combat the burn.
- Garnish your beverage with a final sprig of fresh rosemary, and enjoy!
