Preparation
- Step 1
Make simple syrup: In a small saucepan, mix the sugar with 1 cup water. Simmer over low heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2
In a large shaker, combine the grapefruit juice, vodka and 1 tablespoon simple syrup. (Remaining syrup can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.) Add ice cubes and shake well. Strain into martini glass, and float (do not mix) prosecco in glass.

Instead of simple syrup we usually add elderflower liquor to this.
Refreshing, no doubt. I made 2:1 simple syrup, which is supposed to last longer in the fridge. Use half as much, or the full tablespoon to make it slightly sweeter.
A tasty drink, but who has martini glasses that can hold 7.5 oz? I had to double check that this really was supposed to be just one drink. I will probably cut the juice to 2 oz next time. In general I like a 1:1 juice to vodka ratio anyway.
This is delicious! Forget the prosecco! I squeezed red grapefruit and what a refreshing cocktail!
Try grapefruit vodka and mild honey instead of simple syrup. Delicious.
One cup of sugar? 🤯
