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!
Ingredients–Serves 1
2 oz Vodka
3 oz Grapefruit Juice (preferably fresh squeezed)
2 oz Orange Juice (preferably fresh squeezed)
