Yield
Makes 1 nonalcoholic cocktail
Ingredients
Before You Begin
We prefer to use fresh juice for this spritzer (yellow, pink, or red grapefruit, as you prefer); however, you can substitute unsweetened store-bought juice, if you like. Create a traditional cocktail by adding 1 ounce blanco tequila, vodka, or London dry gin to glass with juice.
Instructions
- Fill chilled collins glass halfway with ice. Add grapefruit juice and herb syrup and stir to combine using bar spoon. Add seltzer and, using spoon, gently lift grapefruit mixture from bottom of glass to top to combine. Top with additional ice. Pinch grapefruit peel over drink and rub outer edge of glass with peel, then garnish with grapefruit peel and serve.

Why This Recipe Works
We started with 4 ounces of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and the same amount of seltzer. To temper some of the grapefruit's tartness and enhance the savory backbone of this spirit-free cocktail, we enlisted help from our piney rosemary-infused syrup. Garnish the spritzer with a rosemary sprig in addition to the grapefruit twist, if you like. To create a simple flavor twist on this spritzer, we replaced the grapefruit juice with freshly squeezed orange juice for a sweeter citrus-forward profile and paired the OJ with an earthy thyme syrup for depth of herbal flavor. (And yes, we've also given you a tip on how to turn either version into an alcoholic cocktail. See "Add a Twist.")
