Winter Grapefruit Cocktail

What better, more cocktail-friendly citrus is there than the ruby red grapefruit? Its refreshingly bittersweet flavor and elegant pink color consistently make for a cocktail that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to sip. I used light rum as the base, Aperol, a squeeze of fresh lime, and enhanced the sweet red-fruit flavor by adding Cassis, a black currant liqueur.

such a beautiful photo shoot! I’m making this drink tomorrow night for friends but would love to know where I can buy those glasses for future sippings! New or vintage? Thanks!

Hi Maryellen! I picked up this glass from Anthropologie a few years back. I just checked online, but I don’t see it on their site anymore. I hate when that happens. Maybe it will come back around next season. I hope you enjoy the cocktail!!

This looks so delicious, I want one right now! How do I make a grapefruit twist?!

Two new cocktails for my next brunch, the Meyer lemon sour and this. Nice!

I’m a whore for Aperol … this looks outta control! ps. these pictures are stunning
