A multitude of variations on this grapefruit spritzer are in store for the spring and summer months, though I will try not to bore you with all the mocktail madness unless I can dress things up with backdrops of colorful scarves or poolside scenes. You’d be surprised at the reactions a tall glass of water gets when framed with a Speedo-clad crotch shot. Such is the delicate balance I attempt to achieve on this blog. Cocktails and cock shots. Classy as ever.
This quick concoction is a simple squeeze of a grapefruit (strained to eliminate seeds and bulky pulp), a few coins of peeled fresh ginger, and a healthy spoonful of honey diluted with a few spoonfuls of scalding hot water. Shake vigorously with ice and top with grapefruit-flavored seltzer. Garnish with a twist of grapefruit or some grapefruit mint. (The latter is not yet out in the garden, so a twist will have to suffice.)
