Looking for the perfect drink to wow your guests at your next party or mixer? This Pink Grapefruit Martini is the drink that’ll have everyone talking.

For an equally delicious alcohol-free version, replace the vodka and orange liquor with 1 cup sparkling water and one-quarter cup fresh orange juice.

Then, pour all ingredients into a pitcher filled with ice, rather than a cocktail shaker, to combine before serving.

Pro Tips for Success:

  • For a sweeter touch: Add a little simple syrup or agave to balance the tartness of the grapefruit and lime.

  • Want to make it extra chill?: Prep your martini glasses in the freezer before serving to keep your drink colder longer.

  • Need a quick twist on the classic?: Use flavored vodka, like cucumber or citrus, for a refreshing variation that still pairs beautifully with the grapefruit.
