Looking for a different botanical cocktail? Try my Rose Geranium Martini. The Greyhound Cocktail is a popular drink made with vodka, grapefruit juice, and lime juice. I might do just that with some of my leftover syrup. Cook until the honey has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. I also think the cocktail’s delicious taste and pretty pink coloring should be welcome at all bridal showers, wedding receptions, and Tupperware parties.Īnd speaking of Tupperware…as mentioned in the video above, you can store leftover rosemary syrup in an air-tight container for at least two weeks, and even up to one month.Īnd speaking of rosemary syrup…just add confectioners sugar to make scented icing for cakes, cupcakes, and pastries. Make the honey simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the honey and water over medium-high heat. I guess bus stations ain’t what they used to be! The last remaining Post House closed its doors in 2004.Īnyway, I think Rosemary Greyhound belongs on every summertime beverage table. A similar drink was mentioned in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book, which was published in 1930. Historical Notes: According to a 1945 edition of Harper’s Magazine, the “greyhound” - a mixture of vodka and canned grapefruit juice - was served at Greyhound’s popular restaurant chain that was located at bus terminals, called “Post House”. Then there’s the Rosemary Greyhound! Here’s the video (and printable) recipe for this botanical cocktail, along with its fascinating backstory:Ĭlick the play arrow above to watch me make - and taste-test - a Rosemary Greyhound.
Pouring the palest of pink hues, this concoction is as refreshing as it is beautiful when garnished with a twist of grapefruit or sprig of rosemary.
What’s pink, perfumed, and deliriously delicious? Me, after I’ve showered, shaved, and shampooed. A classic cocktail featuring vodka and grapefruit, our Greyhound is reimagined with the aromatics and flavors of rosemary and elderflower.
