Gin Grapefruit Cocktail

This Gin Grapefruit Cocktail is made with gin, grapefruits, seltzer water, and garnished with grapefruit slices.

If you are having that citrusy cocktail cravings that kick in when springtime rolls around, then this Grapefruit Seltzer will fulfill your needs. This cocktail contains squeezed grapefruit juice, a touch of sugar, and two types of booze.

The grapefruit juice tartness offsets the sugar and makes the best cocktail ever. This is an amazing drink to make for a nice magazine reading night or even daytime drinks. As for the spiked seltzer, you can use a grapefruit white claw, Truly, Press Seltzer or Cool Cat. I have a weakness for citrus drinks made with fresh fruit and combined with gin. I promise this is a hit and you should make it!

This grapefruit spritzer is absolutely fabulous! I topped each drink off with Cool Cat Spritzers. Cool Cat released its low-calorie wine spritzers in two flavors: Original (Elderflower Mint Lime) and Citrus. Now that spring is in motion, these spritzers pair so well with a nice spring cocktail.

Instructions:

Add the grapefruit juice, ice and sugar in a shaker and shake well. Strain into 2 large ice-filled glasses. Pour in the gin and the seltzer. Garnish with grapefruit slices and serve immediately.
