Notes

HOW TO MAKE GRAPEFRUIT SIMPLE SYRUP

Here's a tip if you like making cocktails but are trying to save a little money - make your own simple syrup! You can also add in different fruit juices or herbs for a flavored simple syrup.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup grapefruit (optional)
  1. Add the sugar, water, and grapefruit juice and any desired herbs to a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Don't bring it to a boil! Just get it hot enough for the sugar to dissolve.
  3. Let cool completely to room temperature, then strain into a glass jar and seal tightly with a lid. You can also add fresh herbs like a sprig of rosemary to the syrup to enhance the flavor during this step.
  4. Store in the fridge for up to a month!

HOW TO MAKE A PITCHER OF GRAPEFRUIT MULES

Most standard pitchers will hold eight servings. In the bottom of the pitcher, add 2 cups of grapefruit simple syrup, 2 cups vodka. Stir to combine. Just before serving, gently stir in 6 cups ginger beer. You can make the grapefruit simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before adding the ginger beer.
