This perfectly pink drink is my dear friend Michelle's signature beverage, and I understand why. We are gin lovers but her real go to is grapefruit juice and gin. This drink is very similar to a gin fizz, but utilizes grapefruit juice and is stirred not shaken.

Stir together gin, cold grapefruit juice, and simple syrup. Once well incorporated stir in tonic. We used St. George Terroir Gin, fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, and made a simple syrup out of 1/4 cup hot water with 1/4 cup sugar. Once well stirred, strain into glasses and top with a grapefruit segment.

This drink is bright and not too sweet and was the perfect compliment to the citrus cake Michelle and I made that afternoon. Lovely little cocktail for a Sunday afternoon or a date night in!
