My absolute go to, favorite cocktail is a grapefruit martini! And when I say grapefruit, I mean freshly squeezed. The fresh taste hits just right. I also love to garnish a grapefruit martini with fresh herbs in the summer. We love to garnish with a sprig of Thai Basil! A spiral of grapefruit peel is also a great garnish for a grapefruit martini!
