Ingredients

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • ¼ cup granulate sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 grapefruit
  • 2 limes
  • 1½ cups sparkling water
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the rosemary-infused syrup. In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat to let the sugar dissolve. Remove from the heat, add rosemary, and let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the rosemary to infuse its flavors into the water. Let it cool and remove the rosemary sprigs.
