Now this is a nightmare of a Halloween CockTALE! Slurp!
Oh yes, The Poe Pomegranate and Rosemary Smoked Martini drop is SMOKING hot!
It’s inspired by the dark poetry of Edgar Allan himself and it’s a cocktail for ALL the senses. Wisps of
chalky white vapors encircle the smoky gray vintage
glass. The intoxicating scent of charred rosemary fills the air.
It’s herb infused too with my freshly snipped garden rosemary simple syrup!
If that’s not enough, sweet blood-red
pomegranate seeds are scattered in and about the glass and a
bloodshot amaretto soaked cherry is skewered on a
gnarly branch and dripping with syrup.
The glass is rimmed with freshly squeezed orange juice and
dipped in rich red sparkling sugar.
Oh POE!
Poe Pomegranate and Rosemary Smoked Martini Drop
1.5 shots of good vodka
1 shot freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 shot of rosemary simple syrup – See below
{In a pan place a 1 cup each of sugar and water plus a sprig of fresh rosemary. Simmer on
the stove top for a few minutes. Cool, strain and refrigerate. }
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of pomegranate seeds in the glass.
Add a sprig of fresh rosemary garnish. CAREFULLY slightly char the sprig so the smoky aroma of
rosemary fills the air.
Skewer an amaretto soaked Italian black cherry on a fruit tree twig.
Allow rosemary sprig to cool completely and then sip away!
Cheers,
