Grapefruit And Rosemary Prosecco Cocktail Recipe
This refreshing cocktail combines tart grapefruit juice, fragrant rosemary, and bubbly Prosecco. I use simple tools, fresh ingredients, and clear steps to make a flavorful and festive drink.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker or large jar with a tight lid
- Measuring jigger or small measuring cup
- Strainer (if your shaker doesn’t have one)
- Muddler or the back of a spoon
- Citrus juicer
- Small saucepan for making rosemary syrup
- Fine mesh sieve (for straining syrup)
- Tall cocktail or wine glasses
- Bar spoon: for stirring.
Ingredients
- 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
- 1 oz rosemary simple syrup see notes
- 4 oz chilled Prosecco
- 1 small sprig of rosemary for garnish
- 1 slice fresh grapefruit for garnish
- Ice cubes
- Optional extra grapefruit juice for a less sweet taste
Instructions
- Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add grapefruit juice and rosemary simple syrup.
- Shake well for about 10–15 seconds.
- Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.
- Gently top with chilled Prosecco.
- Stir lightly to mix.
Notes
To make rosemary simple syrup, I combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 2 rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan. I bring it to a simmer, stir until the sugar dissolves, and then let the mix cool with the rosemary still inside.
After cooling, I strain it and keep it in the fridge for up to a week. This drink tastes best very cold.
I always chill my glassware and Prosecco before making it. If the drink is too sweet, I add more grapefruit juice.
For a less strong rosemary taste, I use less syrup or skip the garnish. Adjust the syrup and juice to your taste—honestly, it’s hard to mess it up.
