Florida Pamplemousse Martini

ByMeggen Wilson Posted on Updated on

Happy Friday everyone. For this weekend’s Friday Cocktail, I am choosing a refreshing and fun martini.

My friend, Tim Varan at Tim’s Wine Market, turned me on to Pamplemousse liqueur a few years ago. Being a native Floridian, the idea of a preppy pink grapefruit martini is pure heaven in a glass. Here is my recipe for my version of a Greyhound Martini or Pink Pamplemousse.

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce vodka (I prefer Genius Drive Vodka by the Winter Park Distilling Company)

  • 1 ounce Pamplemousse grapefruit liqueur

  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice

  • Splash of mint-infused simple syrup

  • Muddled mint leaves

  • Ice

  • Strain and serve. Garnish with extra mint leaf or a thin slice of grapefruit section.

My love for entertaining began when I was in seventh grade and threw a surprise party for my mother (I did have to fess up about it so she could buy the wine).

I have been blissfully married to Hunky Hubbie for 34 years. We have three brilliant adult daughters (all of whom are off the company payroll) as well as two incredible son-in-laws, and one “they’ve been dating for 12 years — will they or won’t they?” honorary son-in-law.

For the last 20 years, we’ve split our time between our home in Northwest Montana and our downsized dream house in Winter Park, Florida, but in 2022 we loaded up the wagons and decided to “Go West”, making Montana our full time home.
