🌟 Why You'll Love This Recipe

💭 What is a gimlet?

A gimlet is a classic cocktail that's typically made with gin (or vodka), lime juice, and simple syrup.

💭 What is a Grapefruit Rosemary Gimlet?

A Grapefruit Rosemary Gimlet takes the original formula and tweaks it a bit. This gimlet is made with gin, swaps the lime juice for fresh grapefruit juice, and adds herby rosemary simple syrup.

📝 Ingredients

  • Rosemary simple syrup: This simple syrup is infused with the fresh, herbaceous flavor of rosemary. It's so easy to make your own at home.
  • Grapefruit juice: Freshly squeezed, please!
  • Gin: Use your favorite

👩🏻‍🍳 How to make a Grapefruit Rosemary Gimlet

Start with a cocktail shaker with ice and add the grapefruit juice and rosemary simple syrup. Follow that up with your gin.

Shake the drink until it's very cold (about 10 seconds) and strain it into a glass with ice. Alternately you can strain it into a coupe or Nick and Nora glass without ice.

Either way, garnish your drink with some fresh grapefruit and rosemary.

Should I use fresh or bottled grapefruit juice?

Fresh is preferred, but you can use a store bought bottled juice, if needed.

In short, use your favorite!
