Refreshing and not too sweet, this gorgeous sunset-coloured non-alcoholic cocktail uses an abundance of grapefruit. If you’re feeling festive, add a slosh of vodka, as I have been known to do.

Ingredients

4 cups ice
500ml fresh grapefruit juice (2 large grapefuit)
150ml rosemary simple syrup (see recipe)
750ml sparkling water
grapefruit slices and rosemary to garnish (optional)

Rosemary simple syrup

1¼ cups water
1¼ cups white sugar
10g (¼ cup) rosemary leaves

Method

Step 1
To make the rosemary simple syrup, bring the water, sugar and rosemary to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 1 minute then remove from heat and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. Strain.
Step 2
Add the ice to a large jug. Pour in the grapefruit juice, cooled syrup and sparkling water. Mix using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon.
Step 3
Pour into glasses, adding grapefruit slices and rosemary stalks to serve, if desired.
