This is the most refreshing cocktail I know. If this doesn’t cool you off on a steamy summer day, I don’t know what will. Notice that the sugar syrup isn’t diluted with water, but grapefruit juice is added. Enjoy!
1. Squeeze juice from 3 red or pink grapefruits, Strain.
2. Heat ¼ cup of juice with ¼ cup sugar until sugar dissolves. Pour back into rest of juice.
3. Add ¼ cup grapefruit vodka. (Alcohol will prevent the mixture from freezing hard.)
4. Pour into a container and place in freezer. (I used an 8” by 8” metal pan.)
5. After a couple of hours scrape through mixture with a fork to break up. Place back in freezer.
6. Repeat.
7. When a slushy granita forms, scoop into martini glasses.
8. Top with a splash of the grapefruit vodka, strawberry liqueur or prosecco.
9. Garnish with a fresh strawberry.
