Holiday Gift Guide: Cocktail Hour

December 12, 2012

1, 2, 3. 4, 5, 6,

And, if you’re wondering what my favorite holiday cocktail is…

Pink Grapefruit Martini

Ingredients:

1 pink grapefruit

2 cups gin

2 cups pink grapefruit juice

2 tablespoons plus 2 tsp. dry vermouth

ice

Using a peeler, cut 8 twists from grapefruit skin; reserve for garnish. Slice off remaining peel and white pith; discard. Slice fruit into segments. In cocktail shaker, muddle 1 grapefruit segment. Add 1/4 cup gin, 1/4 cup grapefruit juice and 1 tsp. vermouth. Fill with ice; shake until very cold. Strain into chilled martini glass; garnish with grapefruit twist. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
