Ingredients

For one serving:

  • 2 oz vodka or gin
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup

  • Ice

Fresh citrus juices are key for the best taste. You can adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking.

Instructions

  • Add 2 rosemary sprigs and citrus juices to the shaker. Muddle gently to release the rosemary oils.

  • Garnish with a lemon or grapefruit slice and the remaining rosemary sprig.

    Notes

    This recipe is easy to scale up for larger groups. Make a big batch by multiplying the ingredients, but shake each serving individually for the best results.
    You can swap the vodka or gin for white rum or tequila for a different twist. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the spirits with extra club soda or sparkling water.
    Try adding a dash of bitters or a splash of elderflower liqueur for extra flavor.
