Easy Rosemary Grapefruit Fizz

Pro Tips for the Perfect Rosemary Grapefruit Fizz

• Fresh Rosemary is Key: The flavor of fresh rosemary is much stronger and more aromatic than dried, so be sure to use fresh sprigs.
• Adjust the Sweetness: If the grapefruit is too tart, a bit of honey or agave syrup can smooth out the flavor. You can always adjust to your sweetness preference.
• Chill Your Glasses: For an extra refreshing drink, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
• Experiment with Citrus: Try using other citrus fruits like lemon or orange for different flavor profiles.

FAQs

1. Can I make this drink ahead of time?
   Yes! You can prepare the rosemary syrup (by infusing rosemary in water and honey) ahead of time. Add the grapefruit juice and sparkling water when you’re ready to serve.
2. What kind of sparkling water is best for this drink?
   Any unflavored sparkling water works well. For a twist, you can also try a flavored sparkling water like lemon or lime.
3. Can I make this drink alcoholic?
   Absolutely! Add a shot of vodka or gin to make this a refreshing cocktail. Rosemary pairs well with both spirits.
4. How do I store leftovers?
   If you have leftover drink, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just add fresh ice and sparkling water when you’re ready to serve.
