Bittersweet Grapefruit Rosemary Punch Mocktail

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 rosemary sprigs, divided
  • 3 cups freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, chilled
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice, chilled
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, chilled
  • 2 cups strong brewed decaf black tea, chilled
  • 2 cups tonic water, chilled
  • 3 cups non-alcoholic sparkling wine, chilled
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • Ice

Directions

  1. Combine the honey, water, and 3 rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan over medium heat. Warm just until the honey dissolves, then remove from the heat and let it steep for 15 minutes. Strain and chill the syrup.
  2. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, stir together the grapefruit juice, orange juice, lime juice, black tea, and rosemary syrup. Taste the base before adding bubbles; it should be a little bold and tart since the ice and carbonation will soften it.
  3. When you are ready to serve, add a generous amount of ice. Gently stir in the tonic water and non-alcoholic sparkling wine, then float the orange slices on top. Garnish with the remaining rosemary sprig and serve cold.
