I ended up with a 2L of Deep Eddy Grapefruit vodka. A year later, still have about 2L and want to leverage it for Thanksgiving in a punch or sangria, something that will use a lot of grapefruit vodka. Thinking about cranberry and rosemary maybe, I have many liqueurs and time enough to get any mixer.
Any suggestions for a crowdpleaser?
Do you want to taste it or just use it up?
If you just want to use it, I’d turn it into modified Paloma’s. Mix up grapefruit juice, grapefruit vodka, rosemary infused vodka, and some Angostura bitters in a pitcher and refrigerate. Then to serve, pour the mix into a highball with ice and top with a little grapefruit soda (I strongly prefer San Pellegrino), garnish with a small sprig of rosemary. You might add some sweetener or something to tone it down. You can also make it a little showy by smashing the rosemary sprig with a big flourish and handclap.
I left off portions since I really don’t know what the vodka tastes like. I’d sample it first with mostly vodka and then up the other measures as needed to get something palatable.
Yeah more just looking to use it up, it’s not bad at all, a reasonable grapefruit flavor just haven’t really found a use for it in my usual rotation.
