Description

A perfect drink to sip on the patio in the sunshine! Sweet and refreshing grapefruit and tart lime juice muddled with gin and honey and topped with bubbly soda water.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large grapefruit, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 4 tbs honey
  • 2 limes, sliced
  • 8 shots gin
  • 2 cups club soda (maybe more to top it)
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  1. This makes four servings so you are going to start by lining up four glasses and placing 1/4 of the grapefruit, 1/2 of a lime, 1 tbs honey and about 3 fresh basil leaves at the bottom of each glass.
  2. Using a muddler, smash the honey into the limes and grapefruit until they begin to release their juices. Next pour the mix into a shaker with ice and shake vigorously for one minute. You have to shake the full time to ensure the honey gets worked into the drink.
  3. Strain the drink over more ice. Garnish with fresh basil leaves!
