What to Serve with Grapefruit Martini?
Tips You Should Try!
- Adjust the vodka amount to your liking. If you’re not one for heavy drinks, go easy on the vodka. It might alter the taste a bit, but hey, preferences matter. Want to mellow it out further? A splash of club soda can do the trick.
- Ice is your friend, but timing matters. Throw it in last to keep the other flavors intact as much as possible.
- Get creative with your spirits. Swap out regular vodka for a flavored one to add a twist to your cocktail game. Amp up the grapefruit vibes with a grapefruit-flavored vodka or indulge in dessert-like goodness with a vanilla-infused vodka.
- Sweeten the deal with a floral touch. A hint of elderflower liqueur can add a delightful sweetness with a subtle floral aroma, complementing the citrusy notes beautifully.
- Herb it up for added flavor depth. Basil or rosemary garnishes can take your martini from ordinary to extraordinary. Feeling adventurous? Muddle some fresh herbs in the shaker before adding the other ingredients for an herbaceous kick.
