Grapefruit Sunrise

It’s the dawn of a new year and that means new beginnings. Why not celebrate in style with the Grapefruit Sunrise Cocktail? Grapefruit is known to have detoxifying properties and it’s loaded with Vit C to help strengthen the immunity system. This beautiful cocktail is a take on the classic greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice) and screwdriver (vodka and orange juice). The added simple syrup and grenadine add the perfect amount of sweetness. Cheers!

Note-This cocktail can easily be converted into a delicious mocktail by simply omitting the vodka. Enjoy!

IngredientsServes 1

2 oz Vodka

3 oz Grapefruit Juice (preferably fresh squeezed)

2 oz Orange Juice (preferably fresh squeezed)

1/2 oz Simple syrup

1/2 oz Grenadine

Directions

  1. Start by making the simple syrup. Boil 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir and let cool. Extra simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks for future use (ideally in a glass container). 
  2. Fill a tall glass with ice and set aside. 
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the vodka, grapefruit juice and simple syrup. Shake until combined and strain into the glass.
  4. Pour the orange juice over top then the grenadine creating a layering effect. 
  5. Add a straw and enjoy!
