Picon is a French orange bitters that’s great in beer, too, ideally a good pilsner. This makes enough syrup for 10 drinks. Serves one.
2 sprigs rosemary, washed, picked and chopped (this releases the oils)
125g honey
35ml hot water
15ml fresh lemon juice
15ml rosemary honey syrup
25ml Picon
35ml Kentucky bourbon (eg, Four Roses)
Red wine, to float (nothing too fancy)
For the syrup, infuse the rosemary in the honey for 24 hours, strain, stir in the hot water, leave to cool, then jar. It’ll keep in the fridge for a week.
Fill a shaker with ice, add lemon, syrup, Picon and bourbon, and shake hard. Strain into a chilled highball and add cracked ice to fill. Carefully pour on the wine to float, and serve.
