Herbal and bitter cocktails are a favorite of mine, but I don’t always have the necessary ingredients on hand. Fresh herbs aren’t as easy to keep a supply of for the home cocktail enthusiast. Luckily, the same herbs you’re going to be using to season your turkey are the same ones we want in this cocktail. Rosemary whiskey sours are a great seasonal option, but I wanted to make this one more herbal. Green Chartreuse shines through, but still leaves room for the sage and rosemary. The celery bitters add a small layer of complexity, but are not mandatory.
Cheers!
