A refreshing cocktail blending tangy grapefruit, smooth bourbon, and mint for a perfectly balanced drink.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 4 oz fresh grapefruit segments
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • A few fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • Muddle grapefruit and mint in the shaker.
  • Add bourbon, simple syrup, and lemon juice, then shake with ice.
  • Strain into an ice-filled glass. Optionally top with club soda.
  • Garnish with a grapefruit slice or mint.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use fresh grapefruit whenever possible. Bottled juice won't deliver the same brightness.
  • Gently muddle the mint. Crushing too aggressively can release bitterness.
  • Chill your glass beforehand for a colder serving experience.
