Sage-Infused Grapefruit Vodka Spritzer

Grapefruit and sage vodka spritzer cocktail recipe

Hello weekend! Toasting to your arrival with a delicious and refreshing cocktail come happy hour. Today I’m sharing the recipe for this delicious sage-infused grapefruit vodka spritzer.

All this additional time at home has me coming up with fun cocktail recipes (also crafted this Basil Lemon Smash cocktail), along with scheming up ways to use the fresh herbs from my garden.

For this grapefruit vodka spritzer cocktail, I concocted a sage-infused simple syrup! Don’t get scared off if you’re not a cook, anyone can make the syrup – it’s so easy!

I love sage, just the smell alone gets me… but I find I rarely use it when cooking. While my basil and rosemary receive all the love, my sage just keeps growing with little use from my end.

Sage Infused Grapefruit Vodka Spritzer recipe

Since it’s hot, hot, hot outside, I thought I’d try out a citrus that doesn’t receive too much love in the Haines household – the grapefruit. Rick finds them too sour. I’m reminded of my childhood when my best friend used to eat them with brown sugar on top. While grapefruit isn’t my favorite citrus, it’s definitely flavorful, and a perfect companion for a summer cocktail.

I personally used fresh grapefruits when I made this cocktail, but you could certainly use grapefruit juice to cut down on time. I recommend Lakewood Organic Pure pink grapefruit juice if you decide to go that route.

Read on for the full cocktail recipe, cheers!
