Hello! Is it the weekend yet?! After days of the very unglamorous task of moving and unpacking and I couldn’t be more ready for the weekend or more excited to indulge in two, maybe three of these delightful little cocktails. I can’t wait to share before and after pics of our new house with you guys, I made sure to snap a few pictures of the place before we moved in so stay tuned! In the meantime, kick back, relax and enjoy this intoxicatingly delicious mixture of grapefruit and rosemary!
Ingredients:
– 2 oz tequila
– 1 oz rosemary simple syrup (see recipe below)
– sparkling grapefruit soda
– squeeze of lime
– rosemary for garnish
– grapefruit for garnish
Directions:
– Salt the rim of a glass by rubbing a slice of lime along the rim and dipping into margarita salt. Fill the glass with ice. Add all ingredients and stir. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a slice of grapefruit.
– Rosemary Simple Syrup: Add 1 cup of water and 1 cup sugar to a pot. Add 2 sprigs of rosemary. Bring to a simmer and cook until all sugar is dissolved. About 5 minutes. Let cool completely
Enjoy!

March 12, 2015 at 12:19 pmThank you Brooke! I really appreciate that! I think one of the best ways to photograph it is to “accessorize” the area. By adding slices of fruit or herbs (whatever is in the recipe) around the dish will add brightness to the picture! Also, I always take my pictures during the day with natural light! Check out the book Food in Pixels…I have found it really helpful!
