In the wintertime, we love mixing citrus-inspired cocktails. These light and refreshing cocktails are a perfect reminder of warmer temperatures! This Grapefruit Rosemary Fizz makes a great drink for girls night or Sunday brunch. We love the subtle fizz paired with the hearty herb and light summertime fruit.
While this cocktail does require a little extra time to whip up, the rosemary-infused simple syrup is worth it. Often known to be a stronger herb, rosemary can elevate any accompanying flavor when lightly used. Since you’re at it, we suggest making extra rosemary-infused simple syrup and storing it for later!
Our favorite thing about this cocktail? It’s fruity, but not too fruity - if you know what we mean! This cocktail slides right in between bitter and sweet, ensuring it will entertain any guest’s palate -- the perfect go to recipe!
