For the Base

1 sprig Rosemary Adds aromatic, smoky flavor; fresh is best for robust essence.
1 oz Pathfinder Spirit Provides a woodsy, bitter flavor; substitute with non-alcoholic gin if needed.
1 oz Spiritless Kentucky 74 Spiced Introduces a spiced savory note; not easily replaceable.

For the Sweetness

1.5 oz Spiced Apple Cider A sweet base complementing bitterness; using clear cider enhances visual appeal.
0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice Adds brightness and acidity; bottled juice can substitute.
0.25 oz Pure Maple Syrup Provides natural sweetness; agave syrup can be used.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Smoke a sprig of fresh rosemary by igniting the tip and covering it with a rocks glass for 30 seconds.
Combine Pathfinder Spirit, Kentucky 74 Spiced, spiced apple cider, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a shaker with ice.
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10 seconds.
Remove the rocks glass from the rosemary and fill it with ice.
