Refreshing Vodka Citrus Splash

Sometimes you need a cocktail at 5 o’clock. But how many times have you gone to the liquor cabinet, opened it up and asked, “What should I make?”

You can always count on finding some flavor of vodka in my home. Grapefruit flavored vodka is my all-time favorite. I love the tart taste stirred with a sweet citrus mixer.

This cocktail reminds me of a Madras or Seabreeze. It’s got the tartness from the grapefruit and the sweet from the orange. But this sweet libation has the added sweet tangy flavor of raspberry lemonade.

Bonus that these mixers are usually handy in your refrigerator.  Perfect for when 5 o’clock rolls around.
