This cocktail is a nod to some of the best flavours that
nature has to offer. The zesty lemon is softened by the sweetness of the honey. And the hint of rosemary is the perfect accompaniment to those spring evenings spent in the garden.
Both the rosemary cordial and the cocktail itself are simple
to make, and when stored in a cool, dark place the cordial will last up to two
months.
