Y'all, how gorgeous is this cocktail?!

‍

I've been a syrup-making queen these days thanks to my new herb garden, and have been looking for different ways to use herb syrups in cocktails. When I came across this mouthwatering Paloma with a subtle twist by @atwistofcitrus, I immediately added it to my recipe repertoire. Grapefruit and rosemary are flavors I love together, so I can't wait to quench my thirst with this refreshing concoction on a hot summer day! A big thanks to Chrissy for this beautiful photo and cocktail recipe.

And if you're looking for a refreshing drink sans the booze, I've created a mocktail variation of Chrissy's drink that's bound to be in your hot weather drink rotation all season long!
