Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar

8 rosemary sprigs, plus more for garnish

4 wide strips grapefruit zest, plus 1 1/2 cups fresh grapefruit juice (from 2 to 3 grapefruits)

3 cups blanco tequila

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from 5 to 6 limes)

2 1/4 cups grapefruit seltzer

Directions

  1. Combine the sugar, 1/2 cup water, 3 rosemary sprigs and the grapefruit zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and set the syrup aside to cool, at least 1 hour.
  2. Strain the syrup into a 64-ounce jar. Add the grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice and remaining 5 rosemary sprigs and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
  3. To serve, pour the seltzer into the jar and stir (do not shake). Pour into glasses filled with ice and garnish with rosemary sprigs.
