Ingredients
- 4 oz Empress Gin
- 4 oz cold seltzer
- 3 oz grapefruit juice
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 2 oz simple syrup (see recipe in notes below)
Instructions
- Add grapefruit juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and cold seltzer to the bottom of a Collins glass. Stir to combine, then add ice cubes, ensuring there is about 1 to 1 1/2" of room remaining at the top of the glass (you'll need about 1 1/2" for a narrower glass and 1" for a wider glass).
- Gently pour the Empress gin over top of the drink and garnish with a grapefruit slice before serving. Stir well to incorporate before drinking.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- For the Simple Syrup: add equal parts sugar and water (I used 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup water) to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and stir to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.
- To add more complexity of flavor, use honey simple syrup instead of sugar based simple syrup.
