Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Choose a highball or Collins glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill while you build the drink.

2

Build cocktail

In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, pour 2 oz Smirnoff vodka, 0.5 oz triple sec, 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.

3

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold and slightly frosty.

4

Strain and top

Discard the ice from the chilled serving glass. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over fresh ice. Top with 2 oz soda water, pouring gently to preserve carbonation.

5

Garnish and finish

Garnish with a grapefruit wedge or a grapefruit twist on the rim. Optionally add a fresh mint sprig for aroma. Give the drink a gentle stir once to combine.

6

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail stirrer. Adjust sweetness with additional simple syrup to taste if desired.
