    Title: Temperance Society Cocktail
    Categories: Booze, Fruits, Citrus
    Yield: 1 Shooter

    2 oz Strawberry-infused Dolin
    - Blanc Vermouth
    1 oz Rosemary-infused Aperol
    1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
    1/4 oz Simple syrup
    ds Angostura bitters
    Prosecco

    FOR THE STRAWBERRY-INFUSED DOLIN BLANC: Combine 375 ml
    of Dolin Blanc with 1 cup of quartered ripe strawberries
    in an iSi Cream Whipper. Make sure to remove the bottoms
    and tops, since they can make the infusion bitter.
    Ingredients should be at room temperature.

    Double charge with nitrous oxide canisters shaking a
    couple of times after each charge and let infuse for 5
    minutes. Let out the gas by pressing gently on the
    trigger until you can no longer hear anything coming
    out.

    Strain off the strawberries, bottle and refrigerate. The
    infusion should keep for a couple of days.

    FOR THE ROSEMARY-INFUSED APEROL: Pour out about two
    ounces of Aperol from a fresh bottle to make room for
    the herbs.

    Take 5-6 fresh rosemary sprigs, slap them to release the
    oils, and place them in the bottle of Aperol.

    After 6 hours taste the infusion. There should just be a
    faint touch of rosemary on the Aperol; any more will
    overpower the cocktail. If you don't get any rosemary
    let the infusion sit for another two hours and taste
    again.

    Strain off the rosemary and bottle. The mixture will
    keep for about a month.

    FOR THE COCKTAIL: Combine ingredients and shake with
    ice.

    Strain into a chilled coupe and top with a light, dry
    Prosecco. No garnish.
