Grapefruit Cardamom Gin Fizz

2 glasses of Grapefruit Cardamom Gin Fizz with rosemary
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  5 min

Ingredients

Cardamom Infused Gin

  • 1 cup gin
  • 6 cardamom pods

Rosemary Simple Syrup

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 rosemary sprigs

Gin Fizz

  • 4 ounces rosemary syrup
  • 6 ounces cardamom infused gin
  • 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice (from 2-3 grapefruits)
  • 4 ounces Prosecco, chilled
  • 4 Rosemary sprigs, for
  • 4 Grapefruit peels, for garnish

Method

  1. Make the cardamom infused gin. In a small jar combine the gin and cardamom pods. Seal and store for 24 hours.

  2. Make the rosemary simple syrup. In a small saucepan stir together the sugar, water, and 2 rosemary sprigs. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Discard the rosemary. Leftover simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

  3. Make the gin fizz cocktail. In an ice filled cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of the rosemary syrup, 3 ounces of the infused gin, and ½ cup of the grapefruit juice. Cover with a lid and shake to combine, about 1 minute. Using a strainer, divide the drink into two ice filled glasses. Top with 1 ounce Prosecco each. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a grapefruit peel.

  4. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 2 more cocktails.
