Champagne Grapefruit Mojito

What better way to kick of the first day of spring than with a fruit cocktail? If you’re like me you like to kick off any old weekend with a cocktail. I’m extra excited to share my new favorite fruity cocktail, this Champagne Grapefruit Mojito with you.

If you like grapefruit, try this Cantarito.

I thought I had found my all-time favorite cocktail when I made this Watermelon Mojito last year. It was my go-to drink all summer. Before the Watermelon Mojito came along, I had made a variety of mojito recipes for you, from Strawberry to Orange to Coconut and Traditional.

I enjoy the flavor of muddled mint and the slightly sweet flavor of mojitos. And rum, let’s just talk about rum. It’s time for rum. Vodka has had its day. Bourbon has had its day. Heck, even beer has had its time in the spotlight. Let’s highlight good rum now. It was Hemingway’s favorite spirit, which has merit, right?

Mojito Tips

I have used different varieties of grapefruit in this recipe. I prefer pink or red.

Don’t be shy with the mint. Seriously, my mojitos are almost like a salad. I wonder if I could count it as a salad on my MyFitnessPal…. mmmmm?

Use a good rum. I used Bicardi, it’s a good mid-range. Ask your liquor store owner for a recommendation; they love to offer suggestions. If you use a cheap rum, your mojito will not be as good.

Likewise, don’t use a $4 bottle of champagne…. but you can sub club soda, tonic, Sprite, or Fresca for the bubbly champagne if needed.

Don’t leave out the squeeze of lime. Even though it’s only a couple of tablespoons, it really adds to the recipe.
