This slightly left-of-center highball, which Jeremy Rubinstein happened upon while tinkering with variations on the Brown Derby, sees seemingly disparate flavors elevating one another. Rosemary and Japanese whisky don’t seem like the most logical duo, but Rubinstein has found that they work well together. “The maltiness that normally would be hidden by the quinine is actually played up with the rosemary,” he says.
