The Charleston Fizz

This is another great craft cocktail thats not sweet, but so refreshing for summer. You can squeeze your own grapefruit juice or purchase a good quality instead. As for me, I’d rather purchase it, the easier the better.

You will need:

3 oz Red grapefruit juice

2 oz Gin

1 oz St Germain

1 oz Simple Syrup

Club Soda

Basil

Whole red grapefruit

Muddle some grapefruit and basil in a cocktail shaker. Add the simple syrup and muddle a bit more. Add the gin, St Germain, and juice. Shake with ice for a good 30 seconds. Strain into tall glasses filled with ice, leave a little room to top with club soda. Give it a gentle stir.

Garnish with a grapefruit rind and basil.
