Ginger Grapefruit Cocktail

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I was provided with free samples of Bluecoat gin for this post. However, the recipe and opinions are all my own. 

Ginger Grapefruit Cocktail | Dietitian Debbie DIshesThis pretty in pink cocktail is perfect for your Valentine! On these cloudy winter days, I can’t help but fill my shopping basket with as many sunny citrus fruits as I can. When it comes to cocktails, I love palomas, ie. tequila and grapefruit juice. So when I received a few samples of Bluecoat gin, I thought I would experiment by swapping out the tequila for gin. The combo was good, but it just needed a little something. Hence, the ginger liqueur! A local Chicago distillery makes a great ginger liqueur that added just the right amount of sweet ginger taste to this drink. If you are having trouble finding a ginger liqueur though, a homemade ginger simple syrup would work well too.

Ginger Grapefruit Cocktail | Dietitian Debbie DishesWill and I still haven’t made plans for Valentine’s Day yet… Now that we live in such a big city, we still need to work on our procrastination since so many restaurants book up far in advance. Perhaps we’ll stay in and cook up something a little fancier together that night. (I’ve been wanting to pick up a copy of Date Night In for special occasions like this.) I know one thing for sure, we’ll be sipping on these ginger grapefruit cocktails!

I also have a decadent brownie recipe coming at you later this week that would be the perfect ending to a homemade Valentine’s dinner.
