That’s what this grapefruit martini is all about, it’s a seasonally relevant cocktail that will liven up a dreary winter day with its refreshing sweet and tart taste. If the sun is going to set at 5pm and it’s miserably gray, cold and wet outside pretty much every day, at least there’s bright citrus fruit to enjoy.

I’m having a moment with grapefruits right now. Winter happy hour just got a whole lot more delicious with this refreshing, sweet, tart and bright vodka grapefruit martini.
