Cocktail #009- Warthog

As the autumn harvest occurs, certain flavor profiles stand out such as pear. This cocktail brings the flavors of fall together with gin rather than barrel-aged spirits like bourbon or rye. However, be careful when you char the rosemary sprig because I inadvertently set off my fire alarm (one is located in my home bar so it was not that difficult).
