Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 225kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces grapefruit juice fresh-squeezed
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce Cointreau or other orange liqueur
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional for rimming
Instructions
- If rimming the cocktail glass, rub a piece of grapefruit on the rim of the martini glass. Dip the wet rim into the tablespoon of sugar placed on a small plate. Let dry until cocktail is ready.
- To a cocktail shaker add vodka, Cointreau and fresh grapefruit juice.
- Add ice and shake well.
- Strain into the sugar rimmed martini glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you consider yourself a "lightweight" you can cut back on the amount of vodka you add. It will change the flavor slightly but you may prefer it. You can also add a splash of club soda if you want to dilute it a little bit.
- Add ice to the cocktail shaker last to ensure it dilutes the other ingredients as little as possible.
- Change up the vodka to a flavored version for even more fun flavors. Bump up the grapefruit flavor with a grapefruit vodka or try vanilla vodka for something more dessert-like.
- Adding a little St. Germain would be a delicious way to add sweetness with a touch of floral (since St. Germain is made from elderflowers) to the cocktail.
- Herbs are a great flavor match for grapefruit. Add a garnish of basil or rosemary to add to the cocktail experience. Or muddle some fresh herbs in the cocktail shaker before adding the rest of the ingredients.
