I haven’t made cocktails in absolutely ages I realised the other day.  So I bought a heap of grapefruit and oranges and whipped up a fresh, zesty, ruby grapefruit orange cocktail packed with citrus flavour.  And you could make this with any other white spirits; Bacardi or gin for example.

Recipe for citrus vodka cocktail:

Ice cubes
2 shots vodka
Ruby grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed
Orange juice, freshly squeezed
Small splash Cointreau (optional)
Orange segments from 1 small orange
Lime slices
A few sprigs mint

Add ice cubes and vodka to 2 glasses and add juice to desired amount (I prefer more grapefruit juice than orange) – add a splash of Cointreau to each glass.  Add orange segments, lime slices and mint.  Serve straight away.

Serves: 2

  1. Yum! There’s a version of these called a Salty Dog (grapefruit and vodka) which is so tangy and refreshing. They sneak up on you! Lovely photos — and I love your snazzy coasters! xo

  2. Oh yummy!
    This looks so fresh and a little summery, which is perfect as I can sit near the fire drink summery drinks and dream about the summer and getting back to the beach. (Not that my kids seem to bother….they went in the sea at the weekend!!! Brrrrrr)
    Have a great weekend x
