This sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'd order at a fancy brunch spot and then immediately try to recreate at home — bright, herbal, and refreshingly tart all at once. Fresh grapefruit and lime juice do the heavy lifting on flavor, while a homemade honey-rosemary syrup adds a floral, woodsy sweetness that no bottled mixer could replicate. That syrup is the real secret here: just honey, water, and a couple of rosemary sprigs simmered together, which means you know exactly what's going into your glass. Store-bought flavored sodas and cocktail mixers are notorious for sneaking in unwanted sweeteners, so making everything from scratch puts you fully in control. Muddled mint adds one more layer of freshness before everything gets shaken hard over ice and topped with cold sparkling water. It's elegant enough to serve at a dinner party but easy enough to throw together on a quiet afternoon. Garnish with a grapefruit slice and a rosemary sprig and it honestly looks like something out of a magazine.

Combine the honey, water, and rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rosemary steep for 15 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the rosemary. Cool the syrup completely before using.
Place the 12 mint leaves in a cocktail shaker or large jar. Muddle firmly until the leaves are bruised and fragrant, about 10 presses.
