Rosemary Gin Gin

On a winter evening, you need flavors that are bold enough to match the crisp outdoor temperatures. Rosemary grown in a pot outdoors in the summer can be carried indoors for the winter. Grow rosemary in the sunniest window available. Clip off weak growth as it appears during the winter and use in cocktails like this one which combines gin with ginger liquor, lime juice and a sprig of rosemary. See how it's made >>
