Fresh rosemary
Sprigs of rosemary are used as a garnish to this rosemary grapefruit mocktail, and rosemary sprigs are also chopped an added to sugar and water to make a simple syrup right at home!
Soda water
Soda water or club soda are added to this healthy mocktail for a little fizz! Grapefruit soda or lime flavored sparkling water would also work for this grapefruit mocktail. You could also substitute tonic water if you want that extra citrus flavor
Guava nectar
Guava nectar is made from the pulp of the guava fruit. Nectar is sweeter than juice – but also easier to find, since pure guava juice is more difficult to produce from the thick pulp. You can find cartons of guava nectar at your local grocery store in the juice aisle. I love the flavor combination that guava and grapefruit brings to this easy grapefruit mocktail.
