To make rosemary syrup: in a small or medium saucepan, combine one cup of water, 4-5 rosemary sprigs and bring to a light simmer. Add in one cup of sugar, and gently stir to dissolve the sugar. Maintain a very light simmer for 5-10 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow the syrup to cool. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the rosemary sprigs and store the syrup in a glass jar in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass and stir with ice. Strain the drink into a rocks glass over a large cube of ice. Garnish with a smoked rosemary sprig.
