Dark and Smokey rOSEMARY rUM cocktail

This cocktail will elevate any cocktail party to the next level, making it a perfect addition for the holidays or wintertime. The smoked elements add an extra touch of warmth, and there's even a non-alcoholic option for those who enjoy the quality of a good drink without the booze. I recommend preparing the simple syrup a few hours before your guests arrive for a seamless experience.
