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

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

With each sip, you'll get the tangy and slightly bitter taste of grapefruit, which perfectly complements the smooth, oaky flavors of the bourbon. The lemon adds a nice citrusy kick, while the mint refreshes your palate, making each sip as enjoyable as the first.
