#CITRUS VODKA AND GRAPEFRUIT JUICE HOW TO#
HOW TO MAKE A GRAPEFRUIT MARTINI INGREDIENTS The combination of fresh grapefruit and lime juice paired with a bit of orange liqueur is winter epitomized in a martini glass. That’s what this grapefruit martini is all about, it’s a seasonally relevant cocktail that will liven up a dreary winter day with its refreshing sweet and tart taste. If the sun is going to set at 5pm and it’s miserably gray, cold and wet outside pretty much every day, at least there’s bright citrus fruit to enjoy. Honestly, winter citrus is one of the few redeeming features of the season and yesterday I spent almost $3 on a single sumo citrus at Whole Foods to have something to look forward to after dinner.
I’m having a moment with grapefruits right now. Winter happy hour just got a whole lot more delicious with this refreshing, sweet, tart and bright vodka grapefruit martini.
