Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Rosemary Simple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine equal parts water and sugar (1 cup each) with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain out the rosemary and let the syrup cool before using.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Ketel Citroen vodka, 1 oz of prickly pear puree, 1 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz of rosemary simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Shake Well

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. You may use a fine mesh strainer for a smoother texture.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary on top for aroma and presentation.
