Description

Looking for an alcohol-free libation? Whether you're toasting during Dry January or any time of year, here’s an alcohol-free cocktail to celebrate.

All it takes to whip up this treat is tangy grapefruit juice, ginger, and a touch of lightly sweetened Fever Tree Grapefruit soda. It’s so light and refreshing. The rosemary garnish does more than bump up this drink’s visual appeal: Researchers say its compelling, woodsy aroma actually stimulates your memory and ability to complete tasks, while also lowering stress hormones.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pink grapefruit, juiced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 inch (or so) piece of fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1/2 cup Fever Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit
  • Soda water
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • A half-slice of grapefruit (optional)
  • Pomegranate seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large old-fashioned or rocks glass, add the grapefruit juice. For the ginger, you need 1/4 teaspoon of ginger juice: You can put chunks of ginger in a garlic press or use a microplane to grate about 2 to 3 teaspoons that you squeeze with your fingers or in cheesecloth. (Alternatively, you can use grated ginger if you don’t mind tiny ginger pieces in your drink.)
  2. Fill the glass nearly to the top with ice. Add the grapefruit soda and then top off with soda water. 
  3. Garnish with the rosemary, a grapefruit slice, and a few pomegranate seeds, if desired.
