  2. Stir: Stir steadily for about 30 seconds. This is crucial for achieving the perfect dilution and a silky, chilled texture.
  3. Strain: Strain the mixture into a rocks glass over one large, clear ice cube.
  4. Express: Take the lemon twist and squeeze it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
  5. Aromatize: Give the fresh rosemary sprig a quick "slap" between your palms to wake up the aromatics, then place it on top to finish.

  • 1.0 oz VAN SHA
  • 0.25 oz Honey Syrup (3 parts honey to 1 part warm water)
