Ginger Grapefruit Cocktail

If you are a fan of palomas, you will love this pretty pink ginger grapefruit cocktail made with gin, ginger liqueur, and grapefruit juice.

This 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. For fun, 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.

Will 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 know one thing for sure, we’ll be sipping on these ginger grapefruit cocktails!
