Ingredients

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

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 this a "salty dog," make a salt rim on the glasses like you would a margarita.
  • For an alcohol-free, virgin alternative, use seltzer instead of vodka. Stir it in right before serving so it doesn't go flat.
  • If you prefer to make these cocktails in a single serving, it's easy to do. Just mix 1/2 ounce simple syrup with 1 ounce of vodka and 2 ounces of grapefruit juice.
