Rosemary Revolution

A spirited tribute to Virginia’s revolutionary roots—with bourbon, lemon, and a whisper of rosemary.

A delicate balance of herbal brightness and Southern charm, this cocktail pays tribute to the Revolutionary spirit of early Virginia. The name nods to both the literal rosemary garnish and the figurative revolution that brewed in taverns and drawing rooms of Middleburg alike. Crisp lemon, a touch of sweetness, and a sprig of fresh rosemary elevate bourbon into a summer-worthy sipper that feels right at home on the porch of Monticello or in the gardens of Provenance Estate.
