This sweet and savory rosemary greyhound cocktail is made with simple syrup mixed with fresh rosemary and tart grapefruit juice that tastes just amazing! Plus the rosemary sprig is the perfect little stirring tool to mix up your drink as you sip it.
Simple Syrup: In a small sauce pan over medium low heat, dissolve the sugar into the water for about 5 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil or crystals will form. In a heat safe container, pour the warm sugar water mixture over the rosemary sprigs and let it steep for at least 1 hour. The rosemary simple syrup will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 10 days.
2 cups of water, 6 sprigs of rosemary, 2 cups of sugar
Cocktail: In tall glass filled with ice combine the vodka, rosemary simple syrup and grapefruit juice. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
2 ounces vodka, 1/2 ounce rosemary simple syrup, 4 ounces grapefruit juice, sprig of rosemary for garnish
Notes
Grapefruit Juice: I prefer ruby red grapefruit juice, but any kind will work.
