Step 2: Use crystal glases

Pour over ice into crystal glasses (for a spooky Halloween effect). This recipe will make two small (but strong) servings, or one very large one!

Step 3: Fresh rosemary

Light a candle and hold the top of a sprig of fresh rosemary over it until it smokes a bit. It is important that the rosemary is fresh, because if it is dried, it will probably catch on fire. So please use caution during this step! The goal is to singe the rosemary, giving it a smokey aroma.
