Key Ingredients

This grapefruit gin spritz is a vegan cocktail, but not all alcohol is vegan! This was shocking to me when I first went vegan. If you're not sure, check out this website where you can type it the brand and specific type of alcohol you're thinking of getting and it'll let you know if it's vegan!

• Gin: It wouldn't be a gin spritz without it! If you have a favorite gin, use it! I used a local gin.
• Prosecco: for bubbles and flavor that will help balance the grapefruit. I used Mionetto for this recipe.
• Club Soda: for added taste and fizz!
• Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice: either freshly squeezed or store-bought will work perfectly! Grapefruit is very tart and can be somewhat of an acquired taste. SO, if you've never had grapefruit before, give it a try before making this recipe.

How to Make this Grapefruit Gin Spritz

Like I said, cocktails at home are so easy!

1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker or a pitcher and mix well. If you're using a cocktail shaker, shake it up! If you're just putting everything in a pitcher, just stir it well with a spoon or straw.
2. Pour into two glasses, add ice if desired, and garnish with a slice of grapefruit and a fresh rosemary sprig. Enjoy responsibly!

Recipe Variations

• Use tonic instead of club soda
• Choose a flavored sparkling seltzer or plain instead of club soda
• To make this recipe sweeter and not so tart/sour, try using a sweeter sparkling wine like moscato.
• If you're not a fan of gin, feel free to use vodka or tequila instead.

Quick Tips

• Make sure all your ingredients are chilled! You won't have to use as much ice, which means you don't have to worry about watering down the cocktail and it's just more refreshing overall!
• Taste and adjust!! This is so important with any cocktail recipe, as we all have different preferences/tolerances. Yes, follow the recipe, but also taste it and see what you think it needs more or less of. If you want it stronger, add more gin. On the other hand, if it's too strong, add more club soda or grapefruit juice.
