Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Simple Syrup. If you don’t already have simple syrup, you can easily make it by combining equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.

Step 2: Juice the Citrus Fruits. Squeeze fresh juice from an orange, grapefruit, and lemon. This will give the cocktail its vibrant and refreshing flavors. Measure out the required amount for each juice.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients in a Shaker. Add bourbon, orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake well for 15-20 seconds to chill the drink and blend the flavors.

Step 4: Strain and Serve. Strain the mixture into an old-fashioned or rocks glass filled with ice.

Step 5: Garnish. Top with a sprig of fresh rosemary and a slice of orange or lemon for a festive look and extra aroma.
