Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Infuse the Bourbon

    Start by infusing the bourbon. In a clean glass jar, combine 750ml of bourbon with 1 cup of fresh strawberries (sliced) and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours, shaking it gently once a day. Strain the infusion through a fine mesh strainer before use.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of the strawberry & rosemary infused bourbon, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth. Add 2 dashes of cardamom bitters and fill the glass with ice.

  3. 3

    Stir the Mixture

    Stir the cocktail mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and a sprig of rosemary.
