STORAGE & FREEZING: GRAPEFRUIT ROSEMARY MOCKTAIL

If you have leftover grapefruit rosemary mocktail, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to one day. However, the sparkling water may lose its fizz over time. If you want to prepare the drink ahead, it’s best to keep the grapefruit juice and rosemary simple syrup in separate containers. Combine them with soda water just before serving for the best taste.

Freezing is not recommended for the prepared mocktail. If you want to use grapefruit juice later, you can freeze the juice in an ice cube tray. Once ice cubes are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag for longer storage.
