Gin and Grapefruit Cocktail with Rosemary Syrup
The refreshing drink to beat the heat.
What's better than a refreshing cocktail on a hot summer day? We can't think of anything either! This June, we're taking our cocktail shaker to the pool to mix up a delightful Gin and Grapefruit drink with Rosemary Syrup. A little bit tart, a little bit herbaceous and a lot a bit delicious, this will be your go-to for warm nights on the patio or dinner parties with friends. Simple, fresh ingredients are the key to making this libation. Let's get started!
