Rosemary Greyhound

A classic cocktail takes on a piney, herbal twist in my Rosemary Greyhound. Fresh grapefruit juice and vodka meet rosemary simple syrup for a bright, layered drink made for spring evenings.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 3 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 oz rosemary simple syrup see note
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1 sprig rosemary for garnish
Rosemary Simple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1-2 sprigs rosemary

Method
 

  1. For the Rosemary Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring all ingredients to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Turn off the heat and let the rosemary steep for 15-20 minutes. Remove the rosemary from the syrup. Cool completely and can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  2. For the Rosemary Greyhound: Fill a glass with ice. Add in the vodka, grapefruit juice, and rosemary simple syrup. Give it a stir. Add the pinch of kosher salt (just a little to enhance the flavor of the grapefruit). Give it another stir. Garnish with rosemary sprig or grapefruit peel. Enjoy!
