For the Grapefruit Rosemary Sour

  • 3 oz gin
  • 2 oz grapefruit juice
  • 1 oz rosemary simple syrup
  • 1 oz egg whites

For the Cocktail

  • Combine all the ingredients except for the garnish in a Boston shaker half filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds. Strain the cocktail into half of the shaker, and then discard the ice. Close the shaker again and shake for another 30-45 seconds, without the ice.
  • Strain into two coup glasses. Let the drink settle for about thirty seconds. Garnish with grapefruit and rosemary.

For the Simple Syrup

  • Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a simmer, and add the rosemary. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, then take off the heat. Let it steep for two hours. Strain, and keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
