Grapefruit rosemary paloma

Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

½ cup water

½ cup granulated sugar

4 sprigs of rosemary, ,leaves removed, coarsely chopped

6 oz. tequila

8 oz. grapefruit juice + additional grapefruit wedges for garnish

2 oz. lime juice + additional lime wedges for garnish

6 oz. sparkling water (plain or grapefruit or lime flavored works well)

Coarse salt for rims (optional)

METHOD

Place water, sugar, and rosemary in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. You won’t use all the simple syrup for this recipe but it’s a great addition to herbal tea or other cocktails!

In a cocktail shaker or measuring cup with a spout, shake or stir together tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and 1.5 oz. of rosemary simple syrup.

If you’re adding salt to the rims of the glasses, run a lime wedge around the rims of the glasses. Pour some coarse salt onto a plate or in a shallow dish and turn the glasses upside down onto the salt.

Carefully fill the glasses with ice, then divide the cocktail mixture between the two of them.

Top with sparkling water. Garnish with lime or grapefruit wedges if desired.

Enjoy!
