Citrus Breeze

Description

Citrus Breeze is an easy vodka highball with a sharp red-fruit edge. Cranberry gives colour and tartness, grapefruit adds bitter citrus, lime tightens the finish and vodka keeps the whole drink clean.

It is not trying to be complicated; it is trying to be bright, cold and dependable. Build it over plenty of ice and it becomes the sort of drink that works for parties, barbecues and anyone who likes a crisp fruit-led serve.

  • 40 ml Grapefruit Juice
