Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh grapefruit juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, and 2 tbsp honey. Heat over medium-low heat until honey dissolves, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
- Step 2: Remove from heat and add 4 fresh rosemary sprigs. Let steep for 15 minutes to infuse the rosemary flavor.
- Step 3: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing rosemary sprigs to extract liquid. Discard solids.
- Step 4: Stir in 2 cups sparkling water until well combined. Chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors harmonize.
- Step 5: Serve over ice in chilled glasses, garnished with a single rosemary sprig for aroma.
