Grapefruit Gin and Tonic with Rosemary
Grapefruit with rosemary is one of my favorite combinations. When added to the classic gin and tonic you get a tart and refreshing cocktail perfect for happy hour on hot summer days.
Ingredients
- 2 large lemon wedges
- 1 wedge of red grapefruit
- fresh rosemary
- 1 ounce gin like Bombay Sapphire
- ice
- ¾ cup diet tonic
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker – muddle (aka mash up) two large lemon wedges, a slice of ruby red grapefruit, and a small spring of rosemary.
- Add the gin and a cup of crushed ice.
- Cover and shake it like you mean it until the outside gets frosty.
- Strain the mixture into a glass and top with diet tonic.
- Find a sunny patch then PAUSE – DRINK.
Notes
Make this a mock-tail: Skip the gin and, if available, add juniper DRY Soda.
In winter be a little more heavy handed with the lemon and replace the gin with whiskey.
