Equipment

  • First, a shaker is essential to mix the ingredients smoothly.
  • Then, I grab a measuring jigger to ensure I pour the right amount of each liquid.
  • A strainer is helpful to keep ice and pulp out.
  • Last, I pick a tall glass to serve my cocktail, showing off those lovely layers and bubbles.
  • For a fun touch, I might use a slicer for garnishing my drink with a grapefruit wedge.

Ingredients

Here's what I need to gather:

  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 3 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
  • 3 oz Ginger Soda
  • Ice Cubes
  • Optional: Grapefruit wedge or slice for garnish

The vodka gives a delightful kick, while the grapefruit juice adds a zesty punch. I love how the ginger soda brings a fizzy finish to the mix. These everyday ingredients transform into something refreshing and lively.

Instructions

  • I start by filling my shaker with ice, about halfway full.
  • Next, I measure out the vodka and grapefruit juice, pouring them into the shaker with the ice. It's important to seal it tight and give a good shake for 15 seconds to blend these flavors perfectly.
  • Once mixed, I use my strainer to pour the liquid into my glass.
  • Then, I carefully add the ginger soda, topping it off and watching the bubbles rise.
  • To finish, I might add a grapefruit wedge on the glass rim.

It's ready to sip and enjoy! 🎉

    Notes

    I find that fresh grapefruit juice makes a big difference, adding natural sweetness and tartness. If I like a stronger ginger flavor, I can always choose spicier ginger sodas or even add a dash of ginger syrup.
    For a non-alcoholic version, I simply skip the vodka. This elegant drink is still refreshing and great for everyone to enjoy. I'm excited to share this simple yet tasty recipe—it’s perfect for a relaxing evening or a party with friends! 🍸
