This Grapefruit Gin Fizz, is the perfect summer cocktail. It’s slightly tart/slightly sweet, has a little bit of fizz and is super refreshing, perfect for summer days. I hear we get those up here in Illinois…

What really sets this drink apart is the rosemary simple syrup. It’s super easy to make, but if you only have regular simple syrup, that’s totally fine – it’ll still be tasty!

I have two sets of recipes below, for either a single drink or a pitcher in case you have guests… or not. 🙂 Y’all let me know what you think!
