Thanks to Galvanina for sponsoring this post!
I’m not usually a cocktail kind of girl. In fact, I’m not a big drinker at all, in general.
But I make an exception for fruity gin cocktails in the summer because of all the spirits, I find it’s the one with the best flavour and compliments so many other wonderful flavours!
This Grapefruit and Rosemary Gin Cocktail is made up of a sparkling grapefruit drink, rosemary and gin.
I use Galvanina’s Oraganic Grapefruit Drink but you can use your favourite brand, OR just use equal parts grapefruit juice and sparkling water (or lemonade, if you prefer sweeter) instead.
Pairing the grapefruit with rosemary, to add an earthy flavour, results in a refreshing and sophisticated summer cocktail.
I love serving these in those trendy hipster jars as it adds an element of fun, plus it just looks good. Matching pink straws are a must.
These grapefruit cocktails are:
- Dairy-free
- Vegan
- Soy-free
- Nut-free
- Gluten-free & grain-free
- Easy to make alcohol-free for a delicious mocktail!
