Ingredients:
- 3 rosemary sprigs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups pink grapefruit juice
- 4 cups sparkling water
- ¼ cup homemade rosemary simple syrup
Directions:
Simple Syrup
1. Heat the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium fire. Continue cooking for five minutes until sugar dissolves.
2. Do not boil the mixture or the sugar will harden into crystals.
3. Once ready, pour in a heat-resistant cup, throw in the rosemary sprigs and then let the mixture sit for one hour.
4. The rosemary simple syrup can be kept fresh for at least 10 days in the refrigerator. Feel free to use it to make other healthy mocktails.
Mocktail Mix
1. Pour half a cup of grapefruit juice in a glass.
2. Scoop in a tablespoon of the rosemary simple syrup.
3. Stir and then pour in some sparkling water until the glass is full.
4. Top off with some rosemary sprigs.
