- Add all the ingredients for the syrup in a small pot and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let the syrup steep and cool for about one hour.
- Store it in a glass bottle or glass jar and keep refrigerates for up to one week. → If you don't like grapefruit zest in your drink, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve just before serving.

- Add the syrup and then the fresh grapefruit juice in a cocktail glass.
- Top it with sparkling water and ice cubes. Decorate with fresh rosemary or grapefruit slices.
Notes
- Grapefruit: About 3 fresh pink grapefruits are enough to prepare the syrup and make 4 mocktails.
- Syrup: Make the syrup a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator for even more flavor.
- Syrup yield: One batch of syrup makes up to 20 mocktails, depending on how sweet you like them.
- For kids: If grapefruit juice is too bitter, simply serve the syrup topped with sparkling water.
- Larger servings: This recipe is designed for small cocktail or champagne glasses. Double the ingredients if using regular glasses.
