The Easiest, Most Refreshing Grapefruit Cocktail – Mrs. Bishop


We’re not huge drinkers, but there’s just something about a delicious cocktail. Give me anything grapefruit flavored and I’m a happy lady. All Summer long I’ve been whipping up this refreshing Grapefruit Cocktail for friends {and myself}. It is the easiest cocktail you’ll ever make- because it only takes 2 ingredients!

Italian Soda and Vodka

Grapefruit Cocktail

That’s it! I grabbed the Simple Truth Organic Pink Grapefruit Italian Soda from Kroger (but after making it many times, the Blood Orange flavor is just as good). You can find lots of types of Italian sodas at your local grocery, so feel free to mix it up.

All I did was fill a cute little glass with crushed ice, and pour over a large jigger (1 1/2oz) of vodka- whatever kind you have on hand. Then fill the glass the rest of the way up with the Italian soda.

I drink it pretty quickly anyway, so….

Are cocktails something you guys like to have on handy when you have company? Would you like to see some more of our recipes? We tend to experiment and come up with some yummy ones- but I always forget to share them on here. But, if that’s something you’re interested in, I can totally be better about it!

What’s your signature cocktail? I like the easier the better!

Pin it for later, you’re gonna want it!
