This Grapefruit Gin and Tonic comes together with only 4 simple ingredients and is such a fun and savory twist on one of my all time go-to cocktails!
Hopefully you know by now that I have a DEEP love for a good ole Gin and Tonic. It’s my GO TO drink when I want something speedy and simple on weeknights with dinner.
And while Worth keeping it with only a simple squeeze of lime juice, I’ve also been having fun experimenting with different kinds of citrus. And so this Grapefruit Gin and Tonic was born and I am NOT mad about it!
For this method, I kept it truly simple. It’s a basic GnT (Gin + tonic + optional squeeze of lime) with the addition of a little grapefruit juice as well. The nice thing is that you can start with a small splash of the grapefruit juice and then add more as desired!
You could also leave out the lime juice and only have the grapefruit juice in your cocktail! Lots of simple ways to alter the recipe to your prefernces!
When it comes to the gin, my general rule of thumb is to at least TRY all of the local options. Most of my regular gins are local (therefore I can’t truly recommend them to most of you). But what I can say is that the quality of the gin makes a HUGE difference! Surely splurge when you can:)
In THIS Familiar Gin and Tonic recipe post I shared a list of my regular gins lately. I’ve tried a *lot* and have some truly flavor-packed recommendations that you should check out!
Long story short of it, I have been QUITE obsessed with Malfy con Limone gin lately and highly recommend giving it a try! Most of my other favorites are all local to Oregon but the Malfy is pretty widely distributed so hopefully you can find it!
That’s all I have for you today! Keeping it short and SWEET:)
As usual, if you end up making this cocktail, please snap a photo and tag me on Instagram @! And it truly helps me out a lot when you come back and leave a review on the recipe. I greatly appreciate it and always love to see what y’all are making from the blog!
