Base Ingredients

Rosemary-Sage Simple Syrup

Method

Rosemary-Sage Simple Syrup

  1. 1

    Prepare the Simple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Herbs

    Once the sugar is dissolved, add the fresh rosemary sprigs and sage leaves to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool and Strain

    Remove the pan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the herbs. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Civic Vodka, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of the rosemary-sage simple syrup.

  2. 5

    Shake It Up

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

  3. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice.

  4. 7

    Top with Cava

    Slowly pour 4 oz of Cava over the top of the cocktail. This will add a bubbly finish to your drink.

  5. 8

    Garnish

    Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of rosemary or a slice of grapefruit, if desired.
