Notes
Smoked Cinnamon + Rosemary: Working on a heat-proof tray, use a kitchen torch to burn 1 cinnamon stick with 1 sprig of fresh rosemary. Then, immediately place a cocktail glass over the cinnamon and rosemary, trapping in the smoke. Let sit for 2-5 minutes. Fill the glass with ice, then pour over the cocktail.
