Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Shaker, jigger, martini glass, and a fine strainer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 oz. vodka choose a good quality brand
  • 1 oz. grapefruit juice freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 oz. ginger syrup store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice about half a lime
  • Ice for shaking
  • Garnish: grapefruit slice or candied ginger optional

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Gather Your Ingredients: Before you start mixing, make sure you have all the ingredients measured out and ready to go. This makes the process smoother.
  • Fill the Shaker: Take your cocktail shaker and fill it halfway with ice. This will chill the drink quickly.
  • Add the Ingredients: Pour in the vodka, grapefruit juice, ginger syrup, and fresh lime juice.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. You want the mixture to be well combined and chilled.
  • Strain Into a Glass: Using a fine strainer (if you have one), pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass. If you don’t have a fine strainer, just use the shaker’s strainer.
  • Garnish: If desired, add a slice of grapefruit or a piece of candied ginger for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Sip and savor your delicious Ginger Grapefruit Martini!
  • Variations
  • Fruity Twist: Try adding a splash of elderflower liqueur for a floral note or substitute grapefruit juice with orange juice for a sweeter drink.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a dash of jalapeño or a splash of spicy ginger beer for an extra kick.
  • Mocktail Version: Substitute vodka with ginger beer for a refreshing non-alcoholic drink.
