Preparation
- Step 1
Make simple syrup: In a small saucepan, mix the sugar with 1 cup water. Simmer over low heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2
In a large shaker, combine the grapefruit juice, vodka and 1 tablespoon simple syrup. (Remaining syrup can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.) Add ice cubes and shake well. Strain into martini glass, and float (do not mix) prosecco in glass.
Private Notes
Comments
Instead of simple syrup we usually add elderflower liquor to this.
Refreshing, no doubt. I made 2:1 simple syrup, which is supposed to last longer in the fridge. Use half as much, or the full tablespoon to make it slightly sweeter.
A tasty drink, but who has martini glasses that can hold 7.5 oz? I had to double check that this really was supposed to be just one drink. I will probably cut the juice to 2 oz next time. In general I like a 1:1 juice to vodka ratio anyway.
Easy elevation is using Ketel One Grapefruit & Rose vodka plus Elderflower liqueur instead of simple. Perfect.
Rosemary?
I have been making my own version of this drink for many years. My name for it is "Mimosa's Older Sister", because it is similar to a mimosa but way more serious and grown-up. I see no reason for simple syrup. It is delicious without it. Some freshly grated ginger adds a nice note as well.
