Grapefruit Rosemary Cocktail

This Grapefruit Rosemary Cocktail is a spin on a traditional mojito, swapping out the muddled mint for fresh rosemary. It’s a delicious and refreshing grapefruit cocktail made with rum, fresh juice, and a hint of rosemary.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Grapefruit
  • 6 Rosemary Sprigs washed thoroughly
  • 2 OZ Rum White
  • 2 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 4 OZ Club Soda

Instructions

  • Cut the grapefruit into ½” slices. Take each slice and divide into 4 wedges.
  • Place 4 wedges (or 1 grapefruit slice) into the bottom of a highball glass along with 3 small rosemary sprigs.
  • Muddle gently to release rosemary oils and aroma, and to get grapefruit juices from the wedge. Muddle for about 15-seconds or the grapefruit is juiced.
  • Add the remaining rosemary sprigs and 2 more wedges of grapefruit. Pour the sugar and muddle gently again to incorporate the sugar with the juices and oils.
  • Add ice to top off glass.
  • Pour the rum over the ice. 
  • Top the drink off with club soda.
  • To garnish, take your knife to slice halfway through one grapefruit wedge. Place the slit of the grapefruit wedge onto the glass so it stands.

Notes

  •  A mojito is best served with crushed ice in a highball glass.
  • If you don’t have a muddler, just use the bottom end of a wooden spoon!
  • Muddling twice is the best way to get the most flavor from your drink. The first muddle helps to release oil from the grapefruit and rosemary, and the second muddle helps blend the sugar with the rest of the ingredients.
