Instructions

TO MAKE THE ICE CUBES:

  • In your favorite ice tray----add the sliced strawberries and chopped rosemary sprigs into each cavity and carefully cover them with water, filling them until all completely full. Repeat until all ice cube cavities are filled. Add the tray(s) to the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours (or overnight) until ice is formed.

TO MAKE THE LEMON SIMPLE SYRUP:

  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add together all ingredients (stirring them to combine) and bring to a boil, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes or so. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

TO MAKE THE MOCKTAILS:

  • In a mason jar or bowl, add the strawberry slices, grapefruit juice (if using), and cooled lemon simple syrup, mulling the strawberries until completely broken down. Stir.
  • Assemble the mocktail(s): For each mocktail, fill a good cocktail glass (11 oz. or so) with a few strawberry rosemary ice cubes and pour half the amount of the mocktail mixture (w/ mulled fruit) and top with grapefruit soda until glass(es) is ¾ filled. Add strawberry slices, grapefruit wedges, and rosemary sprigs, if desired.
  • Sip and Enjoy!

Notes

  • SERVING SIZE: To make additional mocktails, simply double or triple ingredients, depending on need.
  • ALCOHOL: If you'd like to spruce things up with alcohol, feel free to add 1 ounce of rum, vodka, etc.

  • VEGAN OPTION: To make this mocktail vegan, be sure to substitute the honey with another sweetener like maple syrup, organic cane sugar, or brown sugar.
