Notes

If you can't have grapefruit juice, I bet this would be good with orange juice too!
Helpful tips
  • You can use either freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, or store bought. I prefer store bought because you would need a lot of grapefruits to squeeze to make this and it isn’t cost effective
  • Use a mid-level gin as you really won’t be able to taste the difference
  • There are a few elderflower liqueurs out here, but I like this brand because it doesn’t cost a lot of money and tastes amazing
  • You can choose to either shake this cocktail or stir it. I love shaking because the ice breaks up and you get little ice chips floating in your cocktail
