    This grapefruit martini is such a quick and easy cocktail. 

    It's so refreshing! The fresh grapefruit juice and vodka make for such a refreshing cocktail recipe.

    It's so simple to make. Only a few ingredients and you can whip this citrus martini up in no time! It's the perfect at-home cocktail.

    It's a low-calorie cocktail. With fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, and honey simple syrup, it's a lower-calorie cocktail packed with flavor.

    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.

    This grapefruit martini is the perfect winter cocktail! The fresh grapefruit juice paired with honey simple syrup and vodka is so refreshing, you'll love it!

    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!

    How to make a grapefruit martini

    1. In a shaker, pour in your vodka, grapefruit juice, lime juice, triple sec and honey simple syrup. Add ice.
    2. Shake until the shaker is frosted.
    3. Strain into a martini glass.
    4. Garnish and cheers!

    3. Ketel One
    4. Sobieski
