After renovating my backyard to make room for my quarantine hobbies, I found the perfect summer cocktail to go with it. The ingredients: champagne and grapefruit are somewhat healthy (as healthy as alcohol can be), and delicious. Plus it’s the ultimate cocktail for summer weekends. Throw in a few games and the party is just getting started. Cheers to kicking off the summer with a little fun in the sun, yummy refreshers and movie nights in the backyard.
Ingredients
Fresh pink grapefruit
Fresh sage leaves
Fresh lime
Ice cubes
Champagne (substitute sparkling white wine, or sparkling water for nonalcoholic)
Instructions
- For a single cocktail, vigorously shake 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) fresh grapefruit juice, 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) of fresh lime juice and fresh sage leaves in a shaker with ice. Strain into a glass with fresh ice. Top with about 1/2 cup of champagne. Garnish with fresh sage leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
