Veckans Cocktail – Grapefruit Gin Soda
Dessa inlägg kommer att övergå till Svenska i slutet av mars. Today I actually wanted to do a Gin Rickey; however there was no lime at the store so I thought that buying a red grapefruit should make an interesting alternative. I wanted to make it the same way as a sweetened Rickey or a Tom Collins but exchanging the citrus with red grapefruit. With this I knew that it wouldn’t get to be a sour drink, it would be more bitter, sweet and fruity. Which made me miss a bit of acidity, I might do one with lime or lemon next time. With that I mean the same recipe as today but with added lime or lemon. While doing this drink I actually thought that you could easily make it to a non-alcoholic drink instead, I’ll look into that since I want to introduce more mocktails in the future. Grapefruit Gin Soda Recipe: 5cl Gin (I used one of my favorites, Blekinge Gin by @oneninespirits) 3cl Red Grapefruit juice 2cl Simple Syrup 5cl Soda Water Directions: Shake the gin, syrup and grapefruit juice with ice. When cold pour in the soda water in the shaker, when you later strain this over a glass with ice it will be more mixed in than just pouring the soda water afterwards. This was a really refreshing drink, I would love to tweak it a bit more in the future, but for those of you doesn’t like the sweet sour taste,
