Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Heat a small saucepan to medium heat and add the water, sugar, cardamom pods and ginger. Let the sugar dissolve and the mixture infuse for about 10 minutes. Let cool and then strain out the cardamom and ginger.
Add the gin and rosemary to a cocktail shaker and use a muddler or back of a wooden spoon to muddle the rosemary in to the gin.
Add the sweet vermouth, lemon juice, cardamom syrup, angostura bitters and ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.
Use a Hawthorne Strainer and strain the drink in to a glass. Garnish with a lemon peel and a sprig of rosemary.
