Cocktail: The Grapeful Red
Recipe:
- 2.5 oz. Absolut Ruby Red
- Splash of grapefruit juice
- Splash of Grand Marnier
- Splash of cranberry juice
- 1/2 oz. (roughly) Blue Curacao

The Grapeful Red
Chill a martini glass. Mix the first four ingredients in a pint glass over ice. Shake and strain into chilled martini glass. Float roughly 1/2 oz. of Blue Curacao by slowly and carefully pouring down the inside of the glass until the tie-dye effect is achieved. Garnish with lemon twist and serve.
“This summery citrus drink has a surprising flavor mix that is really refreshing, and has a fun appearance,” said Shannon O’Brien, Bar Manager.
