Pour 2 1/2 cups grapefruit juice into 2 ice cube trays; freeze until firm. Cover and chill remaining juice.

Process frozen juice cubes, remaining 1/2 cup grapefruit juice, rosemary syrup, vodka, if desired, and chopped rosemary in a 5-cup blender for 10 seconds or until slushy. Serve in sugar-rimmed glasses, and garnish, if desired.
