Grapefruit-Rosemary Rum Smash

We love smashes because they highlight the best of what’s in season, in cocktail form. Try a fresh take on the classic whiskey drink with this grapefruit, rosemary and rum variation. The tang and herbal flavors combine with just a dash (literally) of agave to bring out the sweetness of the Ron Zacapa 23 Centenario Rum. It’s equal parts light and refreshing tasting, which is why we highly recommend sipping on one while you enjoy a few Blackened Salmon Tacos.
