Cocktails with Herbs and Spices
From rosemary to saffron, Arnd Heißen builds drinks around herbs and spices, each with a story. These are the ideas and techniques behind the chapter.

Aperitivo, Citrusy, Complex
The Sicilian Love is a wonderful riff of the Cosmopolitan cocktail. We changed the vodka with Companion, a bitter aperitif with sicilian orange flavors. The sprig of rosemary pairs well with the flavors and give some more herbal touch.
