Lets get started with a safe warm-up. A smooth sip to prime our palates with the perfect balance of a pungent herb and the softness of honey.
Ingredients:
Rosemary
Honey
Whisky
Pluck the needles from a sprig of fresh rosemary and grind to a powdery pulp in a coffee grinder, nut chopper or small food processor (30 seconds to 1 minute). Place 1 teaspoon of ground rosemary into a small glass. Add 1 teaspoon honey and mix until a paste. Add ¼ cup Canadian Whisky and stir well. Fill serving glass with ice. Pour drink gently through fine sieve into ice filled glass. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary.
I mention using a fine sieve enough it seems fair that I should show you what I mean:
