Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Martini glass
  • Measuring jigger
  • Citrus juicer or reamer
  • Spoon
  • Small knife and cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup grapefruit juice fresh is best
  • 1/4 cup apple juice clear, unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
  • 1-2 tablespoons simple syrup to taste
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice
  • grapefruit or lemon wheel for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Fill cocktail shaker about halfway with crushed ice.
  • Add grapefruit juice, apple juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  • Put the lid on and shake hard for about 20 seconds until chilled.
  • Strain into a martini glass.
  • Garnish with a grapefruit or lemon wheel if desired. Serve immediately while cold.

Notes

For less sweetness, use less syrup or skip it. More tartness? Add extra lemon juice. For bubbles, add sparkling water after pouring. Try blood orange for a spooky look. Double or triple for a party batch. Always use fresh juice for best flavor!
