Cocktail Recipe: Pink Grapefruit Vodka Fizz

Ingredients:

2 oz vodka
3 oz freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 oz club soda (or more if you like extra fizz)
Ice

Instructions:

Fill a glass with ice and pour in the vodka, grapefruit juice, and simple syrup.
Stir gently to combine.
Top with club soda for that refreshing fizz.
Garnish with a grapefruit wedge or a sprig of rosemary for a sophisticated touch.

Handy Hints

Tip:
If you love a more intense citrus punch, add a splash of freshly squeezed lime juice for an extra zing.

Troubleshooting:
If the drink is too tart for your taste, simply add a touch more simple syrup.

Ingredient Spotlights

Pink Grapefruit Juice: Freshly squeezed is best for that bright, tangy flavor, but store-bought works in a pinch.
Vodka: A smooth vodka blends seamlessly with the citrus without overpowering it.
Club Soda: Adds just the right amount of light, fizzy refreshment.

Make It Your Own

Extra Zest: Swap club soda for grapefruit-flavored sparkling water for an extra fruity fizz.
Herbal Twist: Muddle a few basil or rosemary leaves into the drink before adding the ice for a hint of herbaceousness.

Drink It With

This cocktail pairs beautifully with light appetizers like shrimp cocktail, a citrusy salad, or a simple charcuterie board. It’s also the perfect brunch drink alongside avocado toast or a smoked salmon bagel.
