1 oz. Cardamaro
¾ oz. pear shrub
½ oz. fresh lemon juice
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: Collins
Garnish: rosemary sprig
Combine all the ingredients in a shaker, add ice, shake, and strain over fresh ice. Garnish.

1½ cups Turbinado sugar
5 cinnamon sticks, broken
⅛ cup ground cardamom
½ cup sherry vinegar
½ cup white vinegar
