Rosemary Gin Whippet Cocktail

If you like Salty Dogs or Italian Greyhounds, then the Rosemary Gin Whippet will be an equally pleasing cocktail for you.  The flavors of the gin and rosemary complement each other really well and the sugar from the simple syrup cuts the bitterness of the grapefruit.  Keep this one in your recipe books folks because it will make a great holiday cocktail.  See after the jump for ingredients and recipe...
