🍊 Citrus Sparkler – The Crisp, Zero-Sugar Thanksgiving Refresher

Ingredients

• • 2 ⅞ cups fresh grapefruit juice (about 2-3 fruits)
• • 1 ⅞ cup chilled sparkling water
• • 4-6 sprigs fresh rosemary
• • 3 ⅞ dashes aromatic bitters

Instructions

1. 1

   Place cocktail shaker, jigger, or muddler in freezer for minimum 10 minutes to maintain cold. This crucial step keeps citrus from warming during preparation.

2. 2

   Gently muddle 1 sprig of rosemary in base of jigger. Be careful not to over-muddle - we want subtle aromatic qualities, not overpowering herbal flavors.

3. 3

   Combine grapefruit juice and bitters in chilled glass. Pour over crushed ice up to 3/4 full. The sparkling water will naturally chill the preparation.

4. 4

   Add remaining rosemary sprigs to glass stems. Pour in sparkling water gently to avoid over-mixing delicate aromas. Add crushed ice to top and gently swirl to blend.
