Grapefruit Rosemary Spritzer
Ruby grapefruit juice gets a floral lift from rosemary-infused honey and our Pink Grapefruit Rosé Balsamic Vinegar, then finished with sparkling water and a sugar-salt rim for a little extra flourish. Muddled rosemary and a quick shake bring it all together — light, tart, and just fancy enough for company.
Grapefruit Rosemary Spritzer
A sparkling spritzer with rosemary-honey grapefruit juice, our Pink Grapefruit Rosé Balsamic, and a sugar-salt rim.
Servings 2
Ingredients
Sugar Salt Rim
- 1 citrus wedge
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp flaky sea salt
Spritzer
- 2 tbsp honey
- 4 sprigs rosemary
- 1 cup ruby grapefruit juice
- 2 tbsp Pink Grapefruit Rosé Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- Ice
- Grapefruit wedges and rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
For the rim:
- Cut a slice into the citrus wedge.
- Stir salt and sugar together in a shallow dish.
- Run the cut citrus slice around the rim of each glass, then dip at an angle into the salt-sugar mix to coat.
- Set glasses aside.
For the spritzer:
- Place honey in a microwave-safe container with the leaves of one rosemary sprig.
- Microwave 15 seconds, then let infuse for 5 minutes.
- Pour the balsamic into a cocktail shaker. Add the leaves from the second rosemary sprig and muddle together.
- Half-fill a shaker with ice. Add the grapefruit juice, and infused rosemary honey. Shake hard for 30 seconds.
- Strain into two prepared (rimmed) glasses. Top with sparkling water or club soda.
- Garnish with a grapefruit slice and a short stem of rosemary.
You can do this on the stovetop by heating the honey and rosemary leaves in a pan over low heat just until you start to see bubbles. Then set aside and let infuse for 5 minutes.
Want it grown up? Shake in ¾ cup tequila and ¼ cup triple sec along with the juice and honey. No need for the sparkling water top-up.
