Is there anything better than fresh citrus? I grew up a Farrell child of the 80’s & 90’s running barefoot outside with the sweet juice of freshly picked orange running down my dirty face. Alas, those days are long gone but one of the best ways to showcase fresh citrus as an adult is in a tasty cocktail. Tart and sweet citrus are the perfect complements to spirits and other mixings.
This week’s recipe is the zesty and bright Citrus Breeze.
It’s as refreshing and light as they come and perfect for those who don’t like overly sweet cocktails.
In addition to citrus juices, you get a bonus citrus punch thanks to the citrus-flavored vodka.
This beautifully presented vodka cocktail looks professional but is easy to assemble and easy to make a pitcher’s worth, making it the perfect drink for a summer brunch.
- 2 oz citrus-flavored vodka
- 4 oz Grapefruit juice. I prefer Ruby Red
- 2 oz Club soda or Sprite for a sweeter option
- Add all ingredients into a highball filled with ice. Gently stir and garnish. Cheers!
