Description
Enjoy a refreshing Frozen Pink Grapefruit Prosecco Cocktail that's perfect for warm days or celebratory occasions. This delightful drink combines the tangy brightness of ruby grapefruit with the sparkle of pink prosecco and a smooth vodka kick, all blended into a frosty slush and served with a sugary rim and candied grapefruit garnish.
Ingredients
For the Cocktail
- 3 tbsp white granulated sugar
- Juice of 1 large ruby grapefruit (approx 240ml or 1 cup of store-bought juice)
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) vodka
- 480 g (2 cups) ice
- 360 ml (1 1/2 cups) red or pink prosecco
For Garnish
- Candied grapefruit slices to decorate
Instructions
- Prepare Sugar Rim: Pour the sugar onto a flat plate. Dip the rim of each glass in grapefruit juice to moisten, then gently dip the rims into the sugar to coat evenly. Set the glasses aside.
- Blend Cocktail Slush: In a blender, combine the remaining grapefruit juice, vodka, and ice. Blend on high until the mixture becomes a smooth slush consistency. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Assemble the Drink: Spoon the grapefruit slush evenly into the prepared sugar-rimmed glasses.
- Top with Prosecco and Garnish: Pour the pink or red prosecco gently over the slush in each glass. Finish by decorating the rim or side of each glass with a candied grapefruit slice.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the frozen cocktails straight away to enjoy the refreshing icy texture and the sparkling prosecco fizz at their best.
Notes
- If fresh grapefruit juice is unavailable, high-quality store-bought ruby grapefruit juice works well.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the amount of sugar on the rim or omit it altogether.
- Use chilled prosecco for a colder, more refreshing drink.
- When blending, if the mixture is too thick, add a splash more grapefruit juice to help it blend smoothly.
- Alcohol content can be adjusted by varying the amount of vodka per serving.
