Gin, Grapefruit & Pomegranate Cocktail

Gin, Grapefruit & Pomegranate Cocktail

A grapefruit cocktail doesn’t need many ingredients to showcase the citrus flavor and intoxicating aroma.  But a perfect marriage is Ruby red grapefruit juice and seasonal pomegranate seeds with a generous splash of gin.  It’s a nice and tart cocktail, but the addition of simple syrup gives it just the right amount of balance.  And to take the cocktail to another level, rim the glass with sugar and crushed red chile flakes.  It’s the tickling boost of flavor to a citrus fruit that is traditionally eaten with chile in México.  You can also use Tajín powder for the rimming of the glasses.  Tajín is a tangy Mexican seasoning that consists of chile peppers, salt, dehydrated lime juice, and crushed dried mango.  

Grapefruits can be available year round, depending on your location, but in the southern US and Mexico, the peak season for the best Ruby red grapefruit starts in November and December.  Ruby red grapefruit has a bright pink/red color and a balanced sweet-tart flavor.

Oh and the pomegranates!  Crushed and mixed with the grapefruit juice makes for a delicious and mighty punch of perfume in your mouth.  Both fruits are unique and powerful antioxidants and the pomegranate season mirrors that of grapefruit, typically between October thru February.  

What makes the cocktail great?  The humble gin, especially one that is supremely English with its aromatic botanicals and juniper berries.  Gin had a history of being the poor people’s choice of drink because of the manner of back alley spirit distilling and the way it was drunk in barns, country celebrations, and peasant gatherings.  But I say let's just enjoy!  

Celebrations call for flavorful cocktails and the perfect expression for a party is a gathering of joy among friends and family, and terrific good cheer.  

Gin, Grapefruit & Pomegranate Cocktail

  • 1 1/2 ounces of pomegranate juice (preferably from freshly crushed seeds)
  • 1 1/2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces gin (Beefeater London Dry Gin)
  • 1-ounce simple syrup or honey
  • A few dashes orange bitters (optional)

  23. In the past, we posted an infographic that explained how one-in-four Facebook as well as Twitter users would expect a brand to respond to complaints through social channels within an hour. This statistic should be a reminder to you that the way you conduct your business and what it communicates on social media is important. Don't be fooled when a customer is unhappy and complains on social media. Before you realize it, you may be in the middle of a catastrophe to your name.
