You can probably guess I’m still working through the grapefruit I squeezed over the weekend… this is a pretty, light, floral little number I found in the data banks that’s perfect for spring. I’m not sure of the origin! Maybe Empress gin, since that’s the named gin in my version of the recipe.
- 2 oz Empress 1908 gin
- 1 oz St. Germain
- 2 oz grapefruit juice
- ¼ oz lemon juice
- ¼ oz rosemary simple syrup
- 1 sprig rosemary for garnish
I used Plymouth gin, and didn’t make rosemary simple syrup — I muddled rosemary leaves with the juices and some sugar. Delicious!


I’ll put Hayman’s forward as a neutral middle ground.
