Relatively Guilt-free Grapefruit Cocktail

-
Author Notes: In my experience, sitting in a bathing suit makes a person eat and drink lighter...I bought grapefruit vodka on a whim and rediscovered Fresca which I hadn't had in years. Grapefruit juice ice cubes are great because as they melt in the oppressive Texas heat your cocktail doesn't get watered down. - nannydeb
Serves 2
- 12 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- 2 1/2 ounces grapefruit vodka
- 1 can Fresca soft drink
- 1 BFF to sip a cocktail with
- Pour the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice into an empty ice tray and freeze.
- Later that day (no judgement if you're drinking in the morning), crack the grapefruit ice into two 8 ounce glasses.
- In each glass, pour 1 1/4 ounce (or free pour however much you want) of grapefruit vodka.
- Top with Fresca and serve.

Nannydeb -- would you consider muddling a wedge of fresh grapefruit with some basil between step 1 and step 2l? I had something similar in Las Vegas and it was a phenomenal combination. Love the ice cube idea! Good luck on the contest.

Great name, nannydeb! My friends & I use to make this drink, often, using regular Vodka, not sure there was a grapefruit flavored one back then, we always called it our "diet" drink...Fresca was the key ingredient for that. :)

When I saw this posted, my first thought was, "Please, please have Fresca in it!". I would run the grapefruit cubes thru the blender though. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
