Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker: Essential for mixing the ingredients well.
  • Measuring jigger: For accurate liquid measurements.
  • Muddler: Helps release flavors from the rosemary.
  • Strainer: Ensures a smooth pour without pulp or ice.
  • Glassware: Use a highball or any preferred glass.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use to make this mocktail unforgettable:

  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Sprigs of rosemary for garnish

Feel free to adjust sweetness by adding or reducing syrup according to your taste.

Instructions

Let me walk you through the steps:

  • Muddle rosemary: In a shaker, gently muddle a few rosemary leaves with a splash of citrus juice to bring out the flavors.
  • Add liquids: Pour in the orange, grapefruit, and lime juices, followed by the rosemary syrup.
  • Shake well: Add ice to the shaker, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.
  • Strain and serve: Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
  • Garnish: Add a rosemary sprig on top for aroma and decoration.

These steps are simple and quick, making it a perfect recipe to enjoy crafting any time of the day.

    Notes

    Rosemary syrup: Can be prepared by simmering equal parts sugar and water with a few rosemary sprigs until sugar dissolves. Strain and cool.
    Ice tips: Use large ice cubes to keep the mocktail colder longer without diluting it quickly.
    Garnish options: A citrus slice or zest curl can be used alongside rosemary for added flair.
    These notes will help enhance the drink, ensuring that its flavor and presentation are top-notch. 🌟 Feel free to add or adjust flavors according to your preference. πŸ₯‚ Enjoy, and let me know how yours turns out!
