Garnish with a lemon slice or with fresh strawberries and serve! Which Vodka For Cocktails?Īs with many things, this is purely subjective! I love Grey Goose, but it can be pricey. To assemble your cocktail, place vodka, simple syrup, grapefruit juice and in a cocktail shaker. I added a handful of chopped strawberries which intensifies the berry flavor much more than muddling fresh strawberries. Strawberry syrup starts with equal parts sugar and water boiled and reduced until it becomes a thick syrup. This syrup is extra special as it is made with strawberries (save the leftover syrup for this Strawberry Lemonade Bourbon Cocktail or you can use it in this s trawberry daiquiri) I use honey syrup in this Gold Rush Iced Tea Recipe and simple syrup in this Key Lime Vodka Collins Recipe. The second batch was absolutely perfect! The key to this strawberry grapefruit vodka cocktail is SYRUP! The first batch I made did not have enough vodka and it needed to be a lot sweeter. I was intrigued, as I rarely think of using grapefruit juice in cocktails as it can be quite bitter. All I got from the conversation was that it had vodka, strawberries, and grapefruit juice. I happened to overhear a friend at the gym describe this amazing cocktail she had while on vacation. A lighthearted cocktail of six-times distilled vodka, pink grapefruit juice, real wildflower honey and a subtle hint of cinnamon. It took me years to recover and give grapefruit a fighting a chance. See, when mom went on these diet kicks, she tended to take the whole family with her. I really don’t know what it involved, but I do know it involved grapefruit and foods with zero flavor. I remember my mom was a fan of the Scarsdale Diet.

But I love it all year long because it’s so easy to make and just tastes delicious If you are looking for a pink cocktail for a special occasion then you can use pink grapefruit juice instead of regular white juice. In fact, there is a diet called “the grapefruit diet” where you guessed it, you had a half a grapefruit before every meal. The Grapefruit Vodka Martini is one of my favorite cocktails, especially in the summertime. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and it seemed as though grapefruits were central to any diet fad that came our way. This sweet and tangy grapefruit vodka cocktail has a crisp refreshing taste! This citrusy cocktail takes sipping to new heights!
