Grapefruit Sunrise Cocktail Recipe

The Grapefruit Sunrise Cocktail is a delicious, refreshing drink that is a little sweet and a little tart…the perfect marriage of flavors!

Sipping cocktails with friends on my patio in the summer is one of my favorite things. After a reeeaaallly long winter here in Kentucky, I am looking forward to getting back outside and enjoying one of my favorite drinks, the Grapefruit Sunrise! It’s a little sweet and a little sour, which just so  happens to be my favorite mix! This cocktail is a brunch time favorite too, and would make such a nice drink for a bridal or baby shower…or heck, whatever occasion you can think up!
