Grapefruit Bourbon Fizz Food

GRAPEFRUIT BEER COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Slice 1 thin round of grapefruit; quarter the slice and set aside for garnish. Juice the remaining grapefruit halves into a pitcher (you should have about 1 cup juice). Wrap the ginger in a piece of cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and squeeze the juice into the pitcher. Stir in the beer, soda and bourbon.
• Fill 4 glasses with ice. Pour in the cocktail and garnish with the reserved grapefruit slices.

FIGGY BOURBON FIZZ

Steps:

• For the fig-infused bourbon: Put the figs in a pint jar, pour over the bourbon and cover tightly. Set aside in a cool, dark place for at least 2 days and up to 7 days.
• For the fizz: Divide the fig between 2 old-fashioned glasses. To each glass, add 1 teaspoon of the maple syrup, a small squeeze of lemon juice and a couple of dashes of bitters. Muddle the ingredients until well incorporated.
• Fill the glasses with crushed ice. Pour over 1 1/2 ounces of fig-infused bourbon, then top with some ginger beer. Garnish with a lemon twist and serve.

ROSEMARY CHAMPAGNE FIZZ

Steps:

• For the rosemary simple syrup: Add the sugar, 1/2 cup water and the rosemary to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• For the champagne fizz: Combine a tablespoon of rosemary simple syrup (more if you like it sweeter), the gin and grapefruit juice and stir. Pour into two cocktail glasses. Top each with champagne and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!
