Refreshing and delicious!
Could I use frozen mixed berries or fresh/frozen oranges in place of pineapple?
This is soooo good! Making a bigger batch next time 🥰
It smelled great but came out super tart and almost bitter. I had to add a tonne of sugar. What can I do different to avoid this?
This was delicious. I batch made double the syrup, and enjoyed it every evening! Also substituted the grapefruit juice for orange juice, which was also great.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This is so good!!! The combination of grapefruit and rosemary is a dream.
I used frozen pineapple, because I couldn't get it fresh, and that worked out just as good.
I made this twice already and find it very nice and refreshing. I used orange instead of the grapefruit juice when putting the drink together in order to use up those oranges.
Delicious indeed! The pineapple and grapefruit combo is a dream, plus the rosemary... yummy! I feel like on a vacation every time I have this drink!
I really recommend this one to everyone!
P.S.: Too bad I cannot add a picture of it!
I tried this one a while back with my family and we loved it. The rosemary really made this so nice and refreshing! Thank you for sharing these recipes can't wait to try more !
Love this one sooo much! I'm not a fan of grapefruit, but this recipe made me obsessed with it now!!
Délicieux ! Très frais. Un peu de soleil dans le verre sous la pluie. Les enfants ( 6 et 7 ans) ont adoré.
Delicious ! Very fresh. A little sun in the glass in the rain. The kids (6 ans 7 y) loved it!
This was such a nice, fresh drink! I also tried to swap out one part carbonated water with one part gin, and it turned out really well too. :)
