    When it comes to cocktails, I'm all about light, refreshing drinks that aren't too sweet and are simple to make. And if I can find all of the ingredients at the grocery store, it's even better! Because who has time to go running around town in search of specialty ingredients? And I'm pretty sure I would be frowned upon if I took my baby into a liquor store with me.

    Why Grapefruit Is The Best For Cocktails

    I absolutely love grapefruit in cocktails. The subtly sweet, tart juice is a lovely pairing with so many flavors. And the pale pink hue makes any drink absolutely stunning. Make sure to use freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice for the best taste.

    How To Make Rosemary Simple Syrup

    1. Add sugar, rosemary and water to a small saucepan.
    2. Heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved.
    3. Turn off heat, cover, and allow syrup to cool before pouring into a glass jar.
    4. Store in the refrigerator. I like to keep a spring of rosemary in the jar as a reminder of what it is - it will last a couple of weeks in the fridge.

    You can make the rosemary simple syrup ahead of time. That way, it's already chilled and ready to go when you're ready to make your cocktails.

    Ingredients

    Scale

    For each Grapefruit Prosecco Cocktail:

    • ½ oz (1 tbsp) rosemary simple syrup (see recipe below)
    • 2 oz (¼ cup) freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice
    • About 4 oz prosecco

    Rosemary Simple Syrup:

    • ½ cup sugar
    • ¾ cup water
    • 1 rosemary sprig

    Instructions

    1. To make the rosemary syrup, combine the sugar, water and rosemary in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once dissolved, remove from heat. Cover and allow to cool before straining in to a container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator.
    2. To make a cocktail, add ½ oz of rosemary syrup and 2 oz freshly squeezed grapefruit juice to a glass. Top with prosecco and garnish with rosemary.

    Notes

    For a large batch (about 6 drinks):

    • 12 oz (1 ½ cups) freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice (from about 1 ½ to 2 large grapefruits)
    • 3 oz (6 tbsp) rosemary syrup
    • 1 bottle prosecco

    Juice and syrup can be prepared a day or two in advance. To make a large batch, you can mix the grapefruit juice and syrup ahead of time. Then just pour 2 ½ ounces of the mixture into each glass and top with prosecco when it's time to serve.
