Stunning Grapefruit Spritz Cocktail Recipe
One of the most treasured items on the Coletta cocktail menu, our grapefruit spritz cocktail is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. You’ll find something to love in this stunning cocktail regardless of your mood.
Fresh grapefruit juice provides a sharp flavor, brightening the tastebuds and awakening your senses. Bubbly prosecco adds an element of lightness, enhancing the beverage’s natural tart flavors. Finally, candied grapefruit peel serves both as a gorgeous garnish and extra touch of sweetness.
Now, with the help of this simplified recipe, any amateur bartender can recreate this sparkling beverage from the comfort of their own home!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of grapefruit juice
1/2 ounce of Aperol
- 2 ounces prosecco
1 small grapefruit
Instructions
- Before preparing the beverage itself, start the process by forming your garnish. Preheat the oven to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the grapefruit thoroughly and cut it into thin slices. Place the slices in a single layer over the parchment paper, and then bake them until dried and nearly translucent. This process can take as long as four hours, depending on the thickness of the slices.
- When the grapefruit is completely dried, remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool.
- Combine the grapefruit juice, Aperol, and prosecco into a tall glass and stir. Be gentle so as not to compromise the bubbly quality of the prosecco.
- Finally, garnish your drink with a dried grapefruit, and enjoy!
