How to Make the Best Rosemary-Grapefruit Spritzer

This rosemary-grapefruit spritzer is the perfect winter cocktail for those who appreciate fresh, sophisticated flavors. The combination of tart grapefruit juice with aromatic rosemary creates a uniquely refreshing drink that’s both light and satisfying, with just the right amount of vodka to give it a gentle kick.

What makes this cocktail truly special is the muddling technique that releases the essential oils from the fresh rosemary, infusing the entire drink with its herbaceous, piney notes. Combined with the bright acidity of fresh lime and grapefruit juice, it’s a flavor profile that feels both elegant and easy to enjoy. The effervescent topping of grapefruit-flavored sparkling water adds a playful carbonation that keeps each sip feeling lively and fresh.

Perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening, this spritzer comes together in just five minutes and requires minimal ingredients. It’s an excellent choice for winter gatherings or whenever you want to showcase premium citrus season produce in a sophisticated way.
