Method
A zesty and refreshing gin cocktail recipe with some floral notes to offset the flavours of our Hortus gin. Making the rosemary syrup is a little extra effort, but will be more than worth it.
- Begin by preparing the syrup. Combine the sugar, water, rosemary and lemon peel in a small pan and bring up to the boil. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, until thickened.
- Pour the syrup mixture into a shall dish and set aside until cool.
- Slice the grapefruit in half and reserve one half for serving. Squeeze the rest to get around 200ml of juice and set aside.
- Put a small handful of crushed ice, all the syrup (including rosemary and lemon peel) and the gin into a cocktail shaker and shake for 1 minute.
- Add the grapefruit juice to the shaker and mix for a further 30 seconds, then strain into 2 glasses filled with crushed ice. Top up with soda water and stir twice, garnishing with rosemary sprigs and grapefruit wedges to serve.
