Grapefruit Cocktails

Spicy Grapefruit Margarita from Bon Appetit

Lemons and limes dominate drink recipes, but let’s not forget about our other citrus friend the grapefruit. It’s not as tart, but it has a vibrant flavor that really zings in cocktail. My favorite variety is the Ruby Red, so I suggest using those if you can find them.

So grab some Ruby Reds and get shakin’:

Spicy Grapefruit Margarita ~ Add some oomph to your grapefruit margarita with some habanero chiles.

Grapefruit Aperol Margarita ~ Another tasty twist for grapefruit margaritas is to add the Italian aperitif Aperol.

The Plantation ~ Gin, grapefruit, lime, Cointreau, and basil. That just sounds amazing yet simple!

Scottish Dream ~ Whiskey and cinnamon are deep, rich flavors so they make an interesting counterpoint to the lightness of grapefruit.

Grapefruit Negroni ~ Grapefruit and Campari are a natural pairing, so it’s only natural to try it in a Negroni!
