What drink is made from grapefruit juice and vodka?

A Greyhound cocktail is made from only grapefruit juice and vodka. However, in this recipe, we're adding a bit more ingredients to make it into a martini.

Ingredients

Fresh Grapefruit Juice. Honestly, you only need. a few ounces, so it is definitely worth squeezing fresh juice.

Fresh Lime Juice. I always use fresh lime juice in my cocktails! It adds a different citrus flavor than grapefruit juice.

Honey Simple Syrup. Don't worry, this sounds fancier than it is. Simply combine equal parts of honey in warm water. Stir until the honey dissolves and then you have honey simple syrup!

Triple Sec. A fruity martini, in my opinion, always deserves a splash of triple sec. I recommend always keeping this stocked on your bar cart. It's inexpensive and is used in many drinks, like this one or margaritas.

Vodka. I use vodka for this martini recipe, use whatever brand of vodka you prefer!
