Dickory Dock Cocktail Recipe

1. Make the Rosemary Honey: In a heatproof, sealable container, pour 4 ounces (120ml) boiling water over the rosemary. Let steep, covered, for 20 minutes, then stir in honey until dissolved. Continue steeping until completely cool, about 1 hour. Strain before using.

2. Make the Cocktail: Combine all ingredients except for garnishes in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously, then strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of rosemary, clapping the herb between your palms before adding it to the drink.

Notes

To serve a crowd, in a 1-​quart sealable container, combine each listed ingredient, multiplied by 6. Seal, then shake hard to incorporate ingredients. Pour into a 2-​quart pitcher over 4 cups (500g) ice and give a quick stir, then set aside as you prepare glasses or garnishes; the drink will be sufficiently chilled and diluted within 10 minutes. Stir to reincorporate ingredients, then serve and garnish as directed.

Make-Ahead and Storage

To make a large batch in advance ahead of time, combine all ingredients in a 1-​quart sealable container and refrigerate until ready for use. When you’re ready to serve, shake hard and stir over ice in the same manner.
