Massenez Garden Party Rosemary Liqueur

Yes — this really is a rosemary liqueur, and a properly made one. Massenez, the celebrated Alsace distillery, takes fresh rosemary, macerates it in alcohol and distils it, adding nothing more than a little sugar to round it off. The result captures the herb almost exactly: green, piney and aromatic, with just enough sweetness to make it sippable.

At a moderate 25% ABV, it’s herbal and crisp rather than heavy, with that unmistakable savoury rosemary note carrying through a clean finish. It’s part of Massenez’s Garden Party range, built around single botanicals, and it shows — this tastes like the herb itself, not a sugary approximation.

It really comes alive in a glass. A small measure adds an instant herbal lift to a gin & tonic, a summer spritz, or a Martini, and bartenders love it for exactly that. Beyond the bar, a splash works beautifully in syrups, marinades, or drizzled over a citrus dessert. This is the 375ml bottle.
