Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 960 ml Grapefruit juice - Pink, freshly squeezed, and not from a carton if you can help it
- 1200 ml Tonic water
- 480 ml Soda water
- 12 sprigs Rosemary - Slapped against your palm first, to wake it up
- 12 twists Grapefruit peel (optional)
Batch (12 drinks) - about 2.64 l of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Pour the grapefruit over ice, top with tonic and soda, and add rosemary.
Method
- Fill a large flute or a wine glass with ice.
- Pour in the grapefruit juice, then the tonic water and the soda.
- Slap the rosemary against your palm to release its oils and lay it across the top of the drink.
- Twist a piece of grapefruit peel over the glass and drop it in.
