Oh yeah! I love it when things somehow magically come together. I was browsing the juice aisle of the grocery store the other day and noticed a bottle of ruby red grapefruit juice. I haven’t had it in forever and thought it’d be fun to come up with a cocktail with it…. score!
This cocktail is not too sweet and not too tart – A perfect combination of ruby red grapefruit juice, whipped vodka, orange liqueur, a little lemon juice and a splash of grenadine for the sunrise effect. The whipped vodka adds a little creamy flavor to it, but regular vodka would be just as good!
I know it’s a pretty drink, but trust me… it tastes better than it looks. How can that be?! 🙂
And it’s super easy to make. I measured the ingredients in “parts”, so you can make a single serving or whip up a batch in a pitcher to share with friends (or not!). 🙂
Cheers to the weekend and happy mixin’!

This is my new fav for spring. Fresh squeezed lemons and grapefruit made this amazing! I did not have a orange liqueur but I had some pulp free minute maid and it was so good.

Tried this tonight and it was fabulous, topped it off with a splash of cranberry Sierra Mist just because I had it laying around, I will be making this again!
That sounds delicious, Ashley – So glad you enjoyed it!
