Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • 2 cups vodka or gin
  • 4 cups grapefruit juice
  • ice for serving, crushed
  • seltzer water optional
  • rosemary for garnish (optional, sprigs|slices
  • grapefruit for garnish (optional, sprigs|slices

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the rosemary simple syrup, heat the water (1/2 cup) and sugar (1/2 cup) together in a small pot. Don't bring it to a boil- just heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add the rosemary sprig. Allow to steep for 20 minutes to an hour. Remove rosemary stem and discard.
  2. Combine the rosemary simple syrup, vodka (2 cups), and grapefruit juice (4 cups) in a pitcher. Stir together and chill.
  3. Before serving, stir together one more time. Serve over crushed ice in old fashioned glasses and garnish with fresh grapefruit slices and rosemary sprigs, if desired. Top with a little bit of seltzer water for some fizz, if desired.

Notes

  • To make a "salty dog," rim glasses with salt before serving.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with seltzer water added just before serving to maintain fizz.
  • Single servings can be made by mixing 1/2 ounce simple syrup, 1 ounce vodka, and 2 ounces grapefruit juice.
