Description
Bright and tart grapefruit and lime juices mingle with piney rosemary, vanilla, and ginger beer in this non-alcoholic vegan mocktail. Maple syrup lends a subtle sweetness that balances out the tartness from the citrus. This zero-proof drink is suitable for all ages and occasions and has quickly become one of my favorites this winter!
Ingredients
- 1–2 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- ice
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 lime
- 1 bottle or can of ginger beer (this is my favorite to use in mocktails!)
Instructions
Add the rosemary, maple syrup, and vanilla to a cocktail shaker or a pint jar. Muddle the rosemary with a muddler or a wooden spoon for about a minute until it becomes highly fragrant. Set your jar aside for a moment.
Juice your grapefruit and lime, then strain the juice into your cocktail shaker or jar to remove any seeds. Add a large handful of ice to the shaker or jar, then place the lid on it securely. Vigorously shake for about a minute.
Fill two rocks or short highball glasses about halfway with ice, then strain the mixture into each glass, making sure to divide it evenly among the glasses. Top each glass with some of the ginger beer (about 2 or so ounces). Garnish if you like then enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any variety of grapefruit you like but if you want that lovely pinkish color, use a ruby red grapefruit.
- If you can’t find ginger beer, you can use ginger soda or ginger ale in its place. Ginger beer can typically be found with the other cocktail mixers or soft drinks.
