My Favorite Festive Cocktail

December 29, 2016  Recipes | Uncategorized

Festive Grapefruit Cocktail - impress your guests with this easy to make cocktail kellyelko.com

Cheers!

To know me is to know I love a good cocktail and this has been my signature drink around the holidays for years and it’s the perfect festive grapefruit cocktail to welcome in the new year.

I whip up a big batch for friends and it’s always a huge hit but it’s just as easy to make just enough for two.

The secret is freshly squeezed grapefruit and lemon juice.
