Well guys, our friends at Project Sip have really done it again; this time serving up a mouth-watering grapefruit cocktail with rosemary. If you’re looking for the perfect, light sip to pucker up to this Valentine’s Day, look no further.
The taste and tartness of grapefruit can stand alone in cocktail for some, but as Jenn and Kathryn have proven with Pretty in Pink, grapefruit plays wonderfully with the sweet and aromatic notes of St. Germain Elderflower. St. Germain is one of our favorite ways to liven up a cocktail—it’s always just the perfect amount of sweet—and it certainly doesn’t disappoint in this recipe. As for the final touch: a hint of woodsy, fresh rosemary to garnish (which looks beautiful in its simplicity, doesn’t it?). Cheers, Kat
- 1 double shot of vodka
- 1 single shot of St. Germain elderflower liqueur
- juice of half a ruby red grapefruit
- juice of half lemon (could substitute meyer lemon if you don’t like it as tangy)
- spring of rosemary to garnish
- Use lemon to make ring on top of a tom collins glass, dip in sugar.
- Mix all ingredients and shake well with ice in cocktail shaker to chill.
- Pour over ice and top with rosemary garnish, enjoy!
Oh this sounds divine! I love elderflower so much – it really does make everything better 🙂
I agree, Gabriella! I tried my first cocktail with St. Germain recently and I’m officially hooked. xo
So two ounces of vodka and one ounce of st. germain?
