Preparation
Step 1
Make the Rosemary Simple Syrup. Pinch off a small tip of rosemary for each drink, and reserve for garnishes. Bring 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water to boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add rosemary sprigs, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, discard rosemary, and allow syrup to cool completely.
Step 2
Salt the rims. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon cane sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt evenly onto a small plate. Twirl the rim of a glass against the cut face of a lemon, and invert it onto the plate, making small circular motions until it’s well-coated. Repeat with the other glass.
Step 3
Fill a shaker 2/3 full with ice, and give it a quick rinse to remove any freezer burn.
Step 4
Add 1 ounce Poire Williams (Pear Brandy), 1 ounce Rosemary Simple Syrup, 1-ounce lemon juice, and 3 ounces dry gin to the shaker – then shake vigorously (about 12 seconds) until well-chilled.
Step 5
Strain into cocktail glasses, and top each drink with a tip of rosemary.
