Christmas Tree Martini
Garnish with a stalk of rosemary, clapping it between your palms to release its fragrance. If you like a smokier, more intense aroma, light just the tip of the rosemary stalk with a lighter before serving, just so the tips catch fire for a moment; the scent is amazing.
Stir in mixing glass until very well-chilled, then strain into a chilled martini glass or coupe.
