Rosemary Simple Syrup

  • Add the water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the rosemary sprigs and bring the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes until fragrant and all sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and let sit for about 10 more minutes.
  • Use it now to make your cocktails OR place in a container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

The Spritz

  • Place 4 glasses on the counter and add the grapefruit juice, carbonated water and vodka to each glass (splitting evenly).
  • Add about 2 teaspoons of rosemary simple syrup to each glass (add a little more if you prefer a sweeter drink) and stir.
  • Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary in each glass and enjoy. Cheers!
