2 oz rosemary-infused vodka (see directions below)
1 oz cherry liqueur
1 oz fresh Tasmanian cherry juice
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Ice cubes
Garnish
Fresh Tasmanian cherry (pitted and skewered)
Rosemary sprig (lightly bruised for aroma)
1 bottle (750 ml) vodka
4–5 sprigs of fresh rosemary (washed and dried)
Prepare the Cherry Juice: Pit and blend a handful of Tasmanian cherries to extract fresh juice. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids.
Mix the Martini: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz rosemary-infused vodka, cherry liqueur, fresh cherry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Add a generous amount of ice and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds.
Serve: Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish: Skewer a fresh Tasmanian cherry and rest it on the rim of the glass. Add a lightly bruised rosemary sprig for an aromatic wintery touch.
Prepare the Rosemary: Rinse the rosemary sprigs and pat them dry. Lightly bruise the leaves with your fingers or the back of a knife to release their oils.
Infuse the Vodka: Place the rosemary sprigs in a clean, sealable glass jar. Pour the vodka over the rosemary, ensuring it is fully submerged.
Store and Shake: Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place for 2–5 days, shaking gently once daily.
Taste and Strain: After 2–5 days, taste the vodka. When the flavor reaches your desired intensity, strain out the rosemary using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Pour the infused vodka back into its original bottle or another clean container.
Store: Keep the infused vodka in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Use within 1–2 months.
