  • Pamplemousse 75

    Pamplemousse 75 Gin Cocktail FI

    The perfect brunch drink is the Pamplemousse 75! It’s a tiny bit like a mimosa, but much better and definitely more unique. The grapefruit flavors are there to be turned up or down, and you can pair it with any breakfast fare for a great weekend or weekday treat. Pamplemousse is a lovely way to say grapefruit, and if you love liqueurs, this one’s for you. It is perfectly grapefruit-y…

  • The Pink Hussy 75

    The Pink Hussy 75 FI

    This drink, the Pink Hussy 75, happened because I invited some friends over for a French 75 Roulette brunch. Basically we just mixed gin and juice and some liqueurs and topped it off with bubbly things. You can thank Andrea for coming up with this one, and it’s name (ahem). It’s sweet, but not too sweet. The grapefruit really cuts the Pavan, and you can always use less when you…

  • Grapefruit and Basil Gin and Tonic

    Grapefruit and Basil Gin and Tonic FI

    Sure – this is an easy recipe for a Grapefruit and Basil Gin and Tonic. Simple ingredients, and easy to make. But still – there are several ways to muck it up or make it better. The key to this drink really is the gin. There are so many out there – in all sorts of price ranges. The combo of grapefruit and basil really pairs well with the Mediterranean…

  • The Best Heather

    The Best Heather FI

    I really think the Better Heather gin cocktail is good, and then I tried it with grapefruit to make the Best Heather. And all seems to have worked out. It’s the same framework, with a slightly different juice. This version of the gin Heather cocktail is a smidge tarter, as the grapefruit can make you pucker up a bit. But it’s not too tart, sort of just the right amount.…

  • Grapefruit Gin Fizz

    Gin, egg, grapefruit, simple syrup Ingredients FI

    Fizz gin drinks are fun for a few reasons – they are fizzy, they have some added protein, and their light and fresh citrus flavors make them a welcome addition to brunch. The grapefruit gin fizz is an easy way to drink your eggs and have some yummy bubbles at the same time. Fizz drinks of the gin variety have a few things in common – the citrus, the egg…

  • The Salty Dog

    The Salty Dog Gin Cocktail FI

    The Salty Dog gin cocktail is just that – full of salt. It’s a riff of the Greyhound, which is made with vodka. Adding the salt makes it the Salty Dog, breed be damned. Some places will tell you that the Greyhound can be made with vodka or gin, which it obviously can. BUT – the two are not interchangeable in terms of tastes. Gin is just better. Change up…

  • The Gin Paloma

    Gin Paloma Cocktail FI

    The much-loved tequila drink, The Paloma, takes on a new taste in the Gin Paloma. That’s the beauty of cocktails – you can tweak, substitute, and experiment to your heart’s content. This recipe is also light and fruity, which can easily be changed to your liking. Feel like you need to pucker up some more? Add grapefruit juice till you can’t take it anymore. Not enough hair of the dog?…
