Grasshopper Cocktail


Enjoy this refreshing, straightforward grapefruit cocktail any time of the year.

The hound drink may be a cocktail that is been around since a minimum of the 1930's. It's usually simply a straightforward fruit crush and hard liquor combination. It's citrus season, and that i am adoring the grapefruit, particularly the attractive tart sweet pink ones. once I had the concept for this cocktail, I had no concept that it had a reputation. A hound drink? i am not alright versed in cocktails. I solely knew that I needed fruit crush to be in one.

It seemsin keeping with my analysis, that there's a reason for the name. At hound terminus restaurants (yes, that Greyhound) you may order a drink created from canned fruit crush, sugar, and vodka. The drink became referred to as a hound drink. WHO knew? And here i used to be inquisitive concerning the association between a quick running canine and a grapefruit drink.

anned fruit crush doesn't get play during this refreshing, bubbly, citrus y grapefruit hard liquor cocktail. I created a virgin, in addition as associate alcohol based mostly version of this drink, and that they were each delicious. thus you'll be able to please teetotalers and children with this drink, too. This food is thus implausibly refreshing, that i neededit absolutely was summer. Well, really, I just about continuously want it absolutely was summer.
