Method

Preparation & assembly

1

Prep the rosemary

Lightly slap the rosemary sprig between your palms (or between two hands) for 2–3 seconds to release the aromatic oils. Set aside one sprig for garnish.

2

Chill glass and add ice

Fill a 12-ounce copper mule mug or highball glass with cubed ice to chill while you prepare the cocktail. Discard any excess water after a minute if the ice has melted significantly.

3

Build the cocktail

Discard any melted water and add 2 oz Tito's Vodka, 0.5 oz limoncello, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice directly into the chilled glass over fresh ice.

4

Top with ginger beer

Gently top the spirit mixture with about 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Pour slowly over the back of a bar spoon if you want to retain a layered look; otherwise simply pour and give one gentle stir (1–2 turns) to integrate.

5

Finish & garnish

Place the slapped rosemary sprig into the drink, lightly brush the sprig across the rim once, and float a lime wheel or wedge on the surface or clip to the rim. Optionally run the lime wedge around the glass rim for extra aroma.

6

Serve

Serve immediately with a short straw or stirrer. Encourage the guest to inhale the rosemary aroma as they sip to complement the bright lemon and ginger flavors.
