You can probably guess I’m still working through the grapefruit I squeezed over the weekend… this is a pretty, light, floral little number I found in the data banks that’s perfect for spring. I’m not sure of the origin! Maybe Empress gin, since that’s the named gin in my version of the recipe.

  • 2 oz Empress 1908 gin
  • 1 oz St. Germain
  • 2 oz grapefruit juice
  • ¼ oz lemon juice
  • ¼ oz rosemary simple syrup
  • 1 sprig rosemary for garnish

I used Plymouth gin, and didn’t make rosemary simple syrup — I muddled rosemary leaves with the juices and some sugar. Delicious!

Bombay and Tanqueray are traditional gins with the piney note - too piney for this drink in my opinion (and Tanq was my fav for a looong time, then graduated to Boodles and now prefer the less piney gins).

Look for a citrusy gin like Leopold Brothers or at least less piney like Hendricks.
