Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, zesty mocktail that blends tart ruby red grapefruit with the silky richness of olive oil and a hint of floral honey.
In a small jar or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh grapefruit juice, extra virgin olive oil, and honey.
Using a jar with a tight lid works perfectly if you don't have a shaker!
Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the honey is dissolved and the olive oil is beautifully emulsified into the juice.
The mixture should look slightly creamy and pale pink.
Fill a chilled glass with ice cubes and pour the grapefruit mixture over the top.
A stemless wine glass or a highball glass looks lovely here.
Top with the sparkling water and give it a very gentle stir to combine without losing the bubbles.
Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and a thin slice of grapefruit before serving immediately.
Slap the rosemary sprig against your hand before adding it to release the aromatic oils!
Make sure to use a high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil for that signature peppery finish. If you want it a bit sweeter, an extra teaspoon of honey does the trick, but I love the tartness of the fresh grapefruit! It's a fantastic anti-inflammatory sip to start your morning or reset in the afternoon.
