How to make a Smoked Rosemary Honeybee

1. Using a half of a twig of fresh rosemary, burn the rosemary until it smokes. Place on counter and cover with rocks glass. Let the smoke fill the glass. Do not burn rosemary near any flammables.

2. Combine honey liqueur, honey, and blood orange juice in a shaker with ice. Shake 15-20 seconds.

3. Pour and strain in smoked rocks glass full of ice.

4. Garnish with fresh twigs of rosemary.

Cheers!
