INGREDIENTS:

•  1 oz  Esprit de Krewe Cane Vodka
•  2 oz  fresh squeezed Grapefruit juice
•  1/2 oz  Vanilla Simple Syrup
•  1/2 oz  St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
•  TT sparkling water

 

GARNISH

• 1 Rosemary Sprig
•  Smacked to release the oils and leave in cocktail to add a lovely aroma with each sip
• 1 Grapefruit Wedge

VANILLA SIMPLE SYRUP

Add (2) cups sugar, (1) cup water, and (1) whole vanilla bean split and scraped out seeds to a small sauce pan

 

Heat over stove and stir until all sugar and water is blended. Do not boil as this can cause sugar crystals to form.

 

Transfer to container and store in fridge. It’s your choice to take out the vanilla bean or keep it with the syrup. Personally, we keep it with the syrup.

 

COCKTAIL

Combine Esprit de Krewe Cane Vodka, grapefruit juice, St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, and vanilla simple syrup in a shaker cup with ice.

 

Shake 5-7 times. Strain into cocktail glass filled with ice

 

Top with sparkling water and garnish with smacked rosemary sprig and grapefruit wedge.
