½ cup sparkling water or club soda
¼ cup rosemary simple syrup recipe below
Ice cubes
Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Grapefruit wedges optional garnish
Rosemary Simple Syrup:
½ cup water
½ cup sugar or honey/agave
2 fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions

Make the syrup: In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Stir over medium heat until dissolved. Add rosemary sprigs, simmer 2 minutes, then steep for 10 minutes. Strain and cool.
Fill a cocktail shaker or jar with ice. Add grapefruit juice and rosemary syrup. Shake until chilled.
Pour into glasses filled with ice.
Top with sparkling water for fizz.

Notes

For less sweetness, reduce the syrup to 2 tablespoons.

Swap grapefruit for blood orange or pomegranate juice for seasonal variations.

Use honey or agave syrup for a natural sweetener option.

Freeze rosemary sprigs inside ice cubes for a beautiful garnish that slowly infuses flavor.
