French Tart

You can probably guess I’m still working through the grapefruit I squeezed over the weekend… this is a pretty, light, floral little number I found in the data banks that’s perfect for spring. I’m not sure of the origin! Maybe Empress gin, since that’s the named gin in my version of the recipe.
- 2 oz Empress 1908 gin
- 1 oz St. Germain
- 2 oz grapefruit juice
- ¼ oz lemon juice
- ¼ oz rosemary simple syrup
- 1 sprig rosemary for garnish
I used Plymouth gin, and didn’t make rosemary simple syrup — I muddled rosemary leaves with the juices and some sugar. Delicious!
Well, it's accurate, no? 🤣
Lol, great cocktail btw
As a lifelong bartender can I suggest a tweak
2oz gin
1/2 st German
1 oz grapefruit
1/2 lemon
1/2 rosemary simple
Drop of saline
Orange bitters
Shake hard and double strain into a frozen coupe
For the rosemary syrup, bring 8oz fresh rosemary to the boil in 1 quart (1 liter) water, bring heat to simmer immediately after reaching boil, add double the amount of sugar to water, stir while simmering and cut heat once sugar is dissolved... remove rosemary sprigs and strain syrup thru cheesecloth, chill in fridge .... it should feel viscous between your fingers
Yea, there's a too much St. Germaine, and it's something I really like.
Saving both recipes for later, they both look great
Like luxardo or chartreuse it overpowers a drink easily
