Pour the honey and water into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Use a whisk to blend the honey into the water and remove from heat (there is no need to bring the mixture to a simmer, this process should only take a couple of minutes).
Fill a small cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the grapefruit juice, vodka, lemon juice, and simple honey syrup. Top with a sprig of rosemary, and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and shake for about 20 seconds until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
