    This ginger mojito cocktail recipe is delicious. Grapefruit vodka combines nicely with the ginger simple syrup and mint and makes for a fun and refreshing cocktail.

    I had this vodka ginger mojito at our cousin’s house. She made it because she’d enjoyed something similar at a function.

    I’m always adventurous when it comes to food and cocktails because not only do I like most things but I don’t mind trying something and declaring that I don’t like it.

    One of the things that I used to not like but do now is ginger. So, when our cousin said she was going to make this cocktail, I thought, “oh-oh.”

    But like I said, I’m always game to try something.

    And I’m glad I did. It’s delicious and I ended up having two which makes me a great guest. 🙂

    Helpful tips

    • If you can’t find grapefruit vodka, use regular vodka. But there are plenty of brands out there that sell the grapefruit version.
    • Ginger simple syrup is delicious and lasts a long time without refrigeration. It takes less than 10 minutes to make and is worth it.
    • I tend to use less simple syrup in my cocktails. I use 1.5 ounces but you can go up to 2 ounces if you like. But make it first as the recipe states and add it if you don’t think it’s sweet enough.

    Notes

    You can make the ginger infused simple syrup at least an hour before you make the cocktail because it needs to cool.
