This refreshing grapefruit spritzer is the perfect addition to any weekend brunch or cocktail party, especially when paired with our Crab Puffs. The light anise flavor of tarragon simple syrup complements the citrus-y cocktail by adding a fresh herbal note. A little bubbly makes this worthy of any special occasion — and there’s nothing more festive than a spritz for the holidays.
