Dip the rim of your glass in grapefruit juice, then into turbinado sugar.Make your honey syrup if you haven’t already (I use my electric kettle to heat the water in seconds).Of course using a sugar rim removes any benefits of this, but it’s so pretty and easily omitted or wiped off if you don’t want the real sugar.
I love sweetening cocktails with honey rather than sugar. I’ve made mine with vodka, sweetened it with honey syrup, topped it off with club soda, and added a sprig of thyme as garnish. What’s in a sparkling greyhound cocktail?Ī greyhound cocktail is generally made with grapefruit juice and vodka or gin. I also don’t like having a lot of gadgets around so I squeezed my grapefruit juice by hand, but a reamer or juicer might be helpful if making a lot of drinks. This recipe uses a cocktail shaker (affiliate link to one similar to mine), but I won’t hold it against you if you just stir it in the glass. I could see this being a popular drink at so many occasions like a baby shower, bridal shower, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, or even a Pretty in Pink party! I’m all about easy cocktails, and this one fits right in with just five ingredients and a few minutes to mix together. If you think a drink made from grapefruit, vodka, and soda sounds good, you’re in for a treat with this greyhound cocktail! As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
