Rosemary Grapefruit Moscow Mule

Overview

  • Yield: 1

  • Prep Time: 5 mins

  • Total Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/4 oz Rosemary Simple Syrup #todo

  • 1/2 Lime cut into quarters

  • 2 Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary cut to fit into the shaker or mixer

  • 2 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice

  • 2 oz Vodka

  • Crushed Ice

  • Ginger Beer to top

Method

  1. Juice one grapefruit through a fine mesh strainer and into a small bowl. Set aside. In a cocktail shaker or mixer, muddle the lime wedges, simple syrup and fresh rosemary sprigs. Pour in the grapefruit juice, and vodka and top with ice. Stir.
  1. Fill a Collins glass or copper mug with crushed ice and double strain the grapefruit mixture into the glass/mug. Top with ginger beer and adjust sweetness to taste by adding more simple if desired. Garnish with a lime slice and rosemary sprig.

Notes

  • you can get about 1/2 C of juice out of one medium grapefruit. That'll give you enough juice for about two and a half drinks.

The cocktail can be made up to one day in advance without adding the ginger beer, stored in a lidded container. When ready to share, pour into Collins glass or mug and then top with ginger beer.
