Refreshing, light and bubbly Grapefruit Gin Fizz Cocktail is a perfect summer cocktail for you and your friends to enjoy! This easy cocktail is made with only a few ingredients and creates a fun twist on a classic gin fizz.

As we are approaching summer, I am so ready for summer BBQ with fun cocktails like this! This Grapefruit Gin Fizz Cocktail is the perfect refreshing drink to enjoy with friends. It’s super easy to make with few ingredients like grapefruit juice and is ready in less than 5 minutes!

In this recipe, I love to use fresh grapefruit juice to get the vibrant pink colour and fresh flavour.

Ingredients

This cocktail requires just a few simple ingredients and fresh rosemary to create an impressive cocktail.

Gin – I would go for the high-quality gin of your choice! I actually used Pink Gin in this recipe to get the perfect vibrant colour!
Fresh Grapefruit – for the flavourful cocktail fresh grapefruit juice is the best but you can certainly swap for store-bought grapefruit juice!
Tonic Water – for the fizz and bubbles that will balance the strong gin and grapefruit flavour. I used zero sugar Indian Tonic Water (great if you are watching your calories!)
Fresh Rosemary – if you want to create a stunning and beautiful cocktail like from a fancy bar therosemary will do the trick!

How to make the Grapefruit Gin Fizz Cocktail

As I said, this recipe is super easy to make, and it’s also fun to make this cocktail with friends!

In this recipe, I used ratio of 1:1 for a sweet and light summer drink. If you want to make the cocktail stronger you can go for 1:2 and add more gin!

If using fresh grapefruit, slice the grapefruit into 2 part and squeeze out the juice.
Add all the ingredients except rosemary to the cocktail shaker and shake well until combined.
Pour into prepared glasses (with ice if desired) and top with fresh rosemary and a slice of grapefruit! Now you are ready to serve.

Tips to make the perfect Grapefruit Gin Fizz Cocktail

This simple recipe requires just a few steps, but there are some things you want to pay attention to!

Make sure that all ingredients are chilled! I do not like this cocktail with ice, so using chilled ingredients will make a more refreshing cocktail!
Use a high-quality gin! It worth it for the best results.
Make the grapefruit juice from scratch! I tried many store-bought juices, but none of them tastes as good as the homemade version!
Make it to your taste! Some likes more bitter cocktails (me), and some prefer sweeter flavours.
Adjust the ratio of the ingredients to see what you like.

Can I substitute any ingredients?

Use any flavoured gin you like! I like to use grapefruit gin, pink gin or even blood orange gin.

Use club soda instead of tonic.

To make the recipe sweeter try to use flavoured gin.
