Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
- 3 sprigs of rosemary
- 2 cups ruby red grapefruit juice
- 1/2 cup of the rosemary simple syrup
- 4 cups sparkling water
- extra rosemary sprigs and grapefruit slices for garnish, if desired
Preparation
- Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan, over medium heat. Stir and dissolve sugar, but do not boil.
- Once sugar has dissolved, pour the mixture into a heat safe container (I used a small mason jar) and add the rosemary sprigs. Leave rosemary in for at least an hour, then remove and discard. You can store the simple syrup in the fridge for up to ten days.
- In a large pitcher, combine the grapefruit juice, 1/2 cup of the rosemary simple syrup, and the sparkling water. Stir to mix well, taste, and add more simple syrup, if desired.
- Divide into glasses and garnish with rosemary and/or grapefruit slices, if desired!
