Notes
Optional Variations
While I simply love this grapefruit gin fizz, I realize that taste is entirely subjective. Feel free to make any swaps that will increase your enjoyment of this tasty libation! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Swap in vodka. If you’re not much of a gin drinker, switching to vodka is a smart move.
- Try a different citrus. If grapefruit isn’t your jam, try sweeter tangerine, clementine, orange, tangelo, or pomelo juice instead.
- Use mineral water with grapefruit bitters to make your own DIY grapefruit La Croix.
- Sweeten it up by using lemon-lime or grapefruit soda to minimize some of the bitterness of the grapefruit.
