This looks lovely. Have never tried pineapple with rosemary but pineapple and mezcal are so compatible - this would be a good Thanksgiving cocktail.
On getting the rosemary flavor out of the rosemary, have you tried simmering it in the water first, like a tea, then using that water to make the syrup?
How do you make your Rosemary simple? I make mine by bringing my simple to a simmer, then tossing in fresh sprigs, covering and let steep until the syrup cools. I’m never satisfied with it, though. The rosemary flavor gets buried under the sugar, and the aroma isn’t strong enough to cut through a drink when using 1oz or less
Thanks! I’ll give that a shot. We use it at work for a Rosemary Paloma. Delicious, but it could really use more rosemary flavor! I actually considered finding some rosemary extract to add to it
