Grapefruit Liqueur:this is key! Instead of using orange liqueur, this recipe calls for Grapefruit liqueur to really bring out the grapefruit flavor. I use Giffard Pink Grapefruit Liqueur, and it is so delicious! I also use it in my grapefruit rose sangria.

Notes on Utensils: And ingredients Vodka– Unflavoured vodka is recommended, but you can use flavoured vodka if you like. This martini works well with citrus-flavoured vodkas such as lemon, lime, or orange.The sweetening requirement is what makes cordials distinct from dry flavored spirits such as gin. In the United States, where “cordial” and “liqueur” are used interchangeably, regulations require that they contain at least 2.5 percent sugar by weight and be made from “fruits, flowers, plants, or pure juices therefrom, or other natural flavoring materials, or with extracts” of those materials. In Europe, cordials refer to non-alcoholic drinks. We use the terms based on U.S. regulations. The majority of fruit liqueurs contain around 20% of alcohol. However, the full range of ABVs starts at around 15% and goes all the way up to 40%, sometimes even higher. How is a fruit liqueur made?

We like to make it with regular vodka, but if you prefer, you can use a flavoured vodka instead. To enhance the citrus flavours we’d recommend a citrus vodka such as lemon, lime, or orange.
