Method
Prepare Rosemary Base
Muddle rosemary
Place the muddling rosemary sprig in a mixing glass or shaker. Add the simple syrup and gently muddle 6–8 times to release oils — don’t over-muddle to avoid bitterness.
Add the grapefruit juice and lime juice to the muddled rosemary, then pour in the New Amsterdam Gin.
Mixing & Chilling
Add 2–3 large ice cubes (or enough to nearly fill) to the shaker. Add the lemon bitters on top.
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosty on the outside.
Serve & Garnish
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass over fresh ice (use fine strainer if you want to avoid small rosemary bits).
Serve immediately and note the balance: bright grapefruit and lime upfront with a herbal rosemary finish and a subtle lemon-bitter lift.
