Rosemary & Pink Grapefruit Gin and Tonic

A winter sun in a glass: this herb-kissed gin and tonic leans into the season of citrus, where pink grapefruit shines and rosemary brings a whisper of Mediterranean pines. It’s bright, breezy, and just dramatic enough to make an ordinary evening feel like a small holiday on a crisp coast.

Grapefruit’s ruby zest carries essential oils that bloom over the tonic’s fine bubbles, while rosemary adds a dry, resinous perfume that plays beautifully with London dry gin. Think classic British G&T sensibility, dressed in Mediterranean greens—simple, aromatic, and refreshingly bitter-sweet.

For best balance, use a dry, high-quality tonic and plenty of large ice to keep everything cold without quick dilution. A quick “clap” of the rosemary sprig releases its oils, and a long strip of grapefruit peel offers a fragrant ribbon of citrus that welcomes the first sip. No syrups, no fuss—just clean flavors and crisp edges.
