Sip into sunshine with a Pink Grapefruit Cocktail, crafted with a refreshing blend of grapefruit juice, vodka, and rosé wine.
Citrusy and light, this Grapefruit Cocktail recipe is perfect for a cocktail party, bridal shower, or a sunny day on the back porch. Citrus and mint pair perfectly with the rosé wine, and the vodka gives it a subtle bite to even out the flavor. Like our Pink Señorita, it's ready in minutes and tastes as pretty as it looks.
Hint: we suggest doubling the recipe and keeping a pitcher on hand just in case you have unexpected company. If no one shows up, well no harm there!
