Ruby Grapefruit & Rosemary Gimlet
A bright and botanical masterpiece that pairs the tart, floral notes of ruby red grapefruit with a resinous rosemary finish for a perfectly balanced sip.
What You’ll Need
2 Ounce
South Fork Vodka
The vodka’s ability to naturally enhance fruit flavor is on full display here, making the grapefruit taste "brighter" and more vibrant.
1 1/2 Ounce
Ruby Red Grapefruit
Ruby Red varieties are preferred for their balance of sweetness and pithy bitterness, providing a complex citrus profile.
3/4 Ounce
Rosemary Syrup
The piney, resinous scent of rosemary syrup provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the floral notes of the grapefruit juice.
2 Dashes
Orange Bitters
Orange bitters act as the "seasoning" for this cocktail, pulling the citrus and herbal notes into a singular, cohesive flavor profile.
1 Sprig
Fresh Rosemary
Using the rosemary as a garnish ensures that every sip is preceded by a fresh, herbal bouquet that enhances the drinking experience.
1 Wedge
Fresh Grapefruit
A thin wedge of grapefruit provides a pop of color and allows the guest to squeeze in an extra burst of fresh oils if they desire.
Chilled
Coupe Glass
Serving this drink in a stem-ware glass keeps the warmth of the hands away from the liquid, maintaining a crisp temperature.
Assembly
instructions
Combine all liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake for 15 seconds until the tin is frosted. Fine strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and grapefruit wedge.
