This Blood Orange & Grapefruit Cocktail is the definition of a simple and delicious cocktail recipe! Tart grapefruit juice is cut with the sweetness from blood oranges. Feel free to add soda water or champagne for effervescence in addition to the vodka.
Happy Thirstday!
Yes, you read that right. No, it was not an error. Yes, I’ve had to stop spell check from fixing it like 5 times.
Thirstday is a day to celebrate. You’re on the right side of Wednesday, with only one day left in the work week. You feelin’ me?
Now, when I was in college, there was a little thing called….”Thirsty Thursday”.
Stop it. Stop it right now. Don’t you go down memory lane thinking about all the crazy things you did on YOUR Thirsty Thursdays “back in the day”. Thirsty Thursday and Thirstday are not to be confused. While one option likely included Natty Ice, $1 Long Islands, or slap the bag (if you don’t know – just don’t even ask) – this is most certainly not what one could expect on Thirstday.
Think fresh squeezed, muddled, and measured pours.
Actual ingredients rather than some sick mystery mixer from a plastic bottle.
Savoring versus slamming.
Nooowwww you’re with me.
Case in point. Meet this gorgeous Blood Orange and Grapefruit Cocktail. The simplest ingredients really do make the most delicious things. Grapefruit and blood orange juice (fresh squeezed, please!). Vodka. THAT’S IT.
I die.
So what are you waiting for?! If you don’t have blood oranges – go get them. If they’re not available, a regular orange will do (Barefoot Contessa? Anyone? Anyone?!). You’ll just miss out on this money shot.
Hello gorgeous….
#THIRSTday will be a regular thing here, so buckle up.
And if you catch the recipe a little too late, no worries. BECAUSE TOMORROW IS FRIDAY, YO.
Absolutely no judgement if you accidentally add a little more vodka than the recipe calls for. We’ll need to talk if this becomes your new drink of choice for flip cup, though.
CHEERS!
