Alcoholic Cocktail Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass 5 ingredients

Recipe

  • 5 oz Danzka Grapefruit Vodka
  • 1 Vanilla
  • 6 oz Cranberry Juice
  • 2 ruby Red (sweet) Grapefruit
  • 2 oz Soda Water

Instructions

Split the Vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out insides with knife. Add the scrapings to a shaker with ice and the Grapefruit Vodka and Cranberry Juice. Shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled. Before you pour it into your martini glasses, rub the Vanilla bean pods around the lip of the glasses to add an initial taste of Vanilla to the drink. Then pour in one oz. of seltzer into each of the two glasses and finally pour the contents of the shaker into the glasses gently on top of the seltzer. Add Grapefruit segments last. Note: I prefer to add segments of citrus when they are cut into what are called supremes (pronounced soo-prems). To do this, take a knife and cut the rind of whatever citrus Fruit you are using going from top to bottom in strips. Once the Fruit is peeled, cut segments from the citrus in between the White membranes that separate the segments. Thats it. Very easy and the Juice from a segment cut like this can add more depth of flavor to a drink.

About Ya Rubytini

The Ya Rubytini is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that marries the tangy sweetness of ruby red grapefruit with the tartness of cranberry juice, uplifted by the smooth, vanilla-infused base of Danzka Grapefruit Vodka. This cocktail is a symphony of citrus and berry flavors, perfectly balanced with a splash of soda water that adds a touch of effervescence. The vanilla note provides a subtle warmth and depth, rounding out the drink with a hint of creamy sweetness. Each sip of the Ya Rubytini is a delightful experience, offering a crisp and invigorating taste that is both sophisticated and approachable.

The Ya Rubytini is a modern take on the classic martini, embracing the trend of flavored vodkas and fruit-forward cocktails that gained popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The use of Danzka Grapefruit Vodka highlights the innovation in the vodka market, where distillers began experimenting with natural flavors to create unique cocktail experiences. The Ya Rubytini reflects a broader cultural appreciation for fresh, vibrant ingredients and creative mixology, making it a favorite among those who enjoy a contemporary twist on traditional cocktails.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
