Ingredients

  • 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice

  • 1 oz rosemary simple syrup
  • 4 oz sparkling water

  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

For Rosemary Simple Syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 fresh rosemary sprigs

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.

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.
