Sparkling Rosemary Grapefruit Gin Martini recipe - www.platingpixels.comI’ve become a bit infatuated with fresh herbs since starting a potted garden in my patio. Herbs like rosemary, basil, thyme, oregano, cilantro and peppermint are all easy to grow and very handy in the kitchen. Not only for savory recipes, but desserts like peppermint rice krispie treats, drinks and cocktails. A bit of fresh rosemary and a few ingredients (including a craft brewed fruit drink) is all you need for this Sparkling Rosemary Grapefruit Gin Martini.

A unique drink or cocktail is a welcoming way for your guests to settle in. Beyond the basics, I’ve been experimenting with craft alcohols and mix-ins.

That’s why I was excited to learn about Bundaberg Brewed Drinks. They’re craft-brewed sparkling drinks, and a classy addition to the standard soda and juice often stocked in bars. While most drinks in the stores are factory mixes that take an hour or less to make, Bundaberg meticulously craft-brews their drinks between three days and and week depending on the variety. This literal brewing process creates exceptional taste perfect for unique cocktails like this Rosemary Grapefruit Gin Martini. These non-alcoholic drinks can also be enjoyed on their own.
