Jalapeño Grapefruit Cocktail

What better way to kick off your evening than this jalapeño grapefruit cocktail. What a treat this drink was and is. It has the right amount of sweet and tart to keep those taste buds a salivating. The jalapeño also gives it a little spicy kick, which takes the drink to a whole other level.

I am not super into “hard alcohol” I love my wine and my occasional gin martini. I have been trying to be a bit more adventurous and step outside of my comfort zone and create some fun cocktails. I am happy to say both my fiancé and I loved this cocktail. It’s definitely one of the better cocktails I have made. It is great treat after a long day to just site and relax and unwind.

Drink Options

• If you do not like spicy you can eliminate the jalapeño. I don’t think it adds too much spice, but if you are afraid it will just keep it out or maybe add a little less.
• I used Pink Grapefruit Italian Soda from whole foods. You could also use grapefruit juice with a splash of sparkling water for the carbonation.
