- 3 tablespoons honey or agave
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cups cold sparkling water

- Grapefruit slices for garnish
- Fresh rosemary for garnish
- Optional: pink sea salt for rim
Instructions
- Cut the grapefruits in half and juice them (you should get about 1 cup of fresh juice).

- In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/4 cup of the grapefruit juice with fresh rosemary sprigs over medium heat (don’t boil).
- Remove from heat and let the rosemary steep in the warm juice for 5-7 minutes to infuse flavor.
- Strain out the rosemary sprigs.
- In a large pitcher, combine the rosemary-infused grapefruit juice with the remaining grapefruit juice.
- Add honey and lime juice, then stir well until the honey dissolves completely.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve (this can be made ahead).
- Fill glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour the grapefruit-rosemary mixture into the glasses and top with cold sparkling water.
- Garnish with grapefruit slices and fresh rosemary sprigs. Serve immediately.
Notes
This drink can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. For a healthier option, replace honey with a sugar substitute.
