Grapefruit Spritz

 

 

Yields: 8 cocktails

2-3    Ruby Red grapefruit

1 lime

3 Tbsp sugar

Cut the grapefruit in half. Slice one ½ inch thick ring from one of them and set aside to use as garnish. Squeeze the juice from the grapefruit on a juicer to yield about 1 ½ cups juice. Squeeze ½ lime into the juice. Reserve half of the lime as garnish. Add 3 Tbsp sugar and stir well.

 

 

Cut the reserved grapefruit ring into 8 sections. Cut the half lime into 8 sections. You may place these on toothpicks or add them directly to the wine glasses.

 

1 bottle of very cold sparkling white wine (I recommend Jacob’s Creek Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut)

Pour about an inch or so (1 jigger) of fruit juice into a medium size wine glass. Top with sparkling wine.

 

Cheers!
