  • Mixing spoon

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 oz vodka use your favorite brand
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 1 oz honey syrup made with equal parts honey and hot water
  • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice optional, for extra zing
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Make the Honey Syrup:
  • In a small bowl, mix equal parts honey and hot water. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved. Allow it to cool before using.
  • Prepare the Cocktail:
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  • Pour in 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and 1 oz of honey syrup. If you prefer a tangier taste, add 1/2 oz of fresh lemon juice.
  • Shake It Up:
  • Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled. This helps blend the flavors and chill the cocktail perfectly.
  • Strain and Serve:
  • Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass. This ensures a smooth pour without ice shards.
  • Garnish:
  • Add a slice or twist of grapefruit on the rim for a beautiful presentation.
  • Variations
  • Herbal Twist: Add a few fresh basil or mint leaves to the shaker before shaking for an herbal infusion.
  • Sparkling Version: Top the martini with a splash of club soda or prosecco for a sparkling finish.
  • Mocktail Option: Replace vodka with sparkling water or lemonade for a refreshing non-alcoholic version.
