This Ginger Grapefruit Fizz goes down dangerously easy and has a light, refreshing taste! It’s the perfect drink to settle down with after a busy day.

What do you do when your neighbors practically forces you to pick their grapefruit tree? You make cocktails of course! Mike bartended a party last night, so I spent the morning juicing ruby red grapefruits for Grapefruit Mint Vodka Cocktails to be served at the party. And while they sounded good (we did a test run at home) I had different plans for those fat ass fruits.

I still have some Sage Simple Syrup sitting in the fridge, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let is go to waste. A bottle of ginger ale later, and you have one dangerous cocktail my friends. I made a test drink and took it next door as appreciation for the cocktail inspiration. I had one sip for myself, and they took the cocktail along with my glass. The next day I ran it my Mike, and said he couldn’t taste the alcohol. Which is my favorite response from him. Now, while the simply syrup is infused, a little perfume on the nose with the fresh sage leaf and grapefruit is where it’s at. So don’t skip the garnish!

This sounds delicious, Julie! It’s similar to a greyhound, but I love the idea of a sage simple syrup. I’m going to have to try this!

It’s definitely a greyhound cousin-ish. 🙂 I like the fizziness from the ginger ale and the slightly sweeter ruby red grapefruit juice. I’d love to hear how they turn out Tara!

Wow!! This looks amazing!! I’m not a huge grapefruit fan but I think the ginger ale would cut it wonderfully. Great job!! I would love it if you would stop by and link this up for Thursty Thursday!! Cheers!!
