Ingredients

2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
1 oz fresh orange juice
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz rosemary simple syrup
4 oz sparkling water
Ice cubes
Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Orange wheel for garnish

For Rosemary Simple Syrup:

Instructions

Make the rosemary simple syrup. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add rosemary sprigs to the syrup. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
Strain the syrup and let it cool completely. Store extra syrup in the refrigerator.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add grapefruit juice, orange juice, lemon juice, and rosemary simple syrup.
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.

Top with sparkling water and stir gently.
Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and orange wheel.

Notes

Keep leftover rosemary simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

For a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup. For less sweetness, reduce the syrup amount.

Fresh-squeezed citrus juices make a big difference in taste compared to bottled juices.

Make sure to strain the simple syrup well to remove any rosemary leaves.

Tasting Notes

This refreshing mocktail starts with bright citrus notes that wake up the taste buds. The blend of fresh orange and lemon creates a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.

The rosemary adds a subtle herbal aroma that complements the citrus. Its pine-like notes give the drink an elegant touch without being too strong.

A hint of honey brings natural sweetness and smooths out the acidic edges of the citrus. The honey also adds a light silky texture to each sip.

Key Flavor Notes:

Primary: Fresh citrus, sweet orange
Secondary: Pine-like rosemary
Background: Floral honey
Finish: Clean and crisp

The carbonation creates tiny bubbles that make the drink feel light and energetic. Each sip ends with a clean, refreshing finish that makes you want to take another.

The drink’s flavors mix best when served very cold. Ice helps maintain the ideal temperature and keeps the bubbles lively.
