Growing rosemary in your garden this year? Make a batch of simple syrup infused with the herb, and add a splash to all your summery beverages for a subtle, refreshing kick. Our favorite rosemary-infused beverage is this Grapefruit-Rosemary Fizz, perfect for warm weather picnics and parties:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- Juice of ½ lime
- 1-2″ of cucumber, sliced
- 2 tbsp rosemary simple syrup
- 2 tbsp Fresca
- club soda
- Pour water and sugar in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Add the rosemary sprigs and let mixture come to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs and pour into a jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Juice your grapefruit and strain juice into an airtight jar.
- Store jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- To make one serving of Grapefruit Rosemary Fizz, pour your 3 tablespoons of grapefruit juice, lime juice, sliced cucumber and rosemary simple syrup into a cocktail shaker with ice and muddle. Pour into a glass and add the Fresca. Top off with club soda and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.
That has to be good – I will have to try it out 🙂

Oh, so pretty! Swoon! Thank you for this recipe!
