Method
1. Prepare the glasses
Fill two short tumblers with ice and set aside.
2. Release the ginger
In a shaker or sturdy glass, gently muddle the fresh ginger with the lime juice.
(You want to extract flavour, not completely crush it.)
3. Add the spirit
Pour in 100ml of Gentleman Jack and add a handful of ice.
Shake well for 15–20 seconds until chilled.
4. Strain
Strain evenly into the prepared glasses over fresh ice.
5. Top (optional)
For a lighter version, top with a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale.
6. Torch the rosemary
Lightly pass a flame over the rosemary sprig for a few seconds until it releases its oils and aroma.
Place it immediately into the glass to infuse the drink with a delicate smoky finish.

Serve immediately.

Flavour Notes
