Even lazier-- substitute San Pellegrino Pomelo soda for the grapefruit juice & syrup.
A lazy and diluted twist of this is gin, the juice of half a lime, and Newman's Own Pink Virgin Lemonade. Add a sprig of fresh thyme, if you have one. It's my by-the-pool favorite.
Refreshing & summery. Make sure you get bright red ruby grapefruit juice, and maybe use a full ounce of simple syrup - the citrus can make it quite sour (though that's what I loved).
It would also be nice as a spritz, poured over half a glass of seltzer water.
If you can't have or don't like grapefruit, muddle and strain the juice from a handful of Concord or other black/purple grapes. A little less tangy but still yummy and still very pretty pink.
I've been using agave in place of simple syrup for my cocktails recently and i doubt I'll ever go back. Made as directed- how did their ruby red drink turn out yellow...and frothy?
I used Hawthorne's London Dry, Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed) and this did not turn out as I expected. Because there was so much citrus, the gin was lost. If you're using fresh juices, maybe sub out the gin for vodka and just enjoy the strong citrus taste.
