Thank you, Sunkist, for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are truly my own.

I absolutely love light and crisp cocktails, especially those with a slight hint of sweetness such as this Fresh Honey & Thyme Grapefruit Cocktail! I got the idea for this cocktail when I was harvesting some fresh thyme from my herb garden. I started to think about all of the possible recipe ideas, but as soon as I cut open one of my Sunkist® California Star Ruby Grapefruits, I just knew that I had to pair these two flavors together!

Grapefruit is one of my favorite fruits because it’s so versatile. You can add it to almost any sweet or savory recipe, or enjoy it au naturel as a yummy snack!  Besides being refreshingly delicious, grapefruit has some pretty amazing health benefits too!

Fresh Honey & Thyme Grapefruit Cocktail

To make this cocktail, start by peeling and slicing your grapefruit and adding them to a shaker. Next, rinse off your fresh thyme and add it to the shaker. I absolutely love using herbs in my cocktail recipes. Thyme is a strong herb that goes well with citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, oranges, and lemon.  

Next, add in a couple of tablespoons of honey and a few ounces of vodka. Muddle these flavors together until everything is combined. Using a strainer, pour the cocktail over ice and garnish with a slice of grapefruit and fresh thyme.

This delightful cocktail will quickly become your favorite summer drink because it’s made with fresh ingredients, such as Sunkist® Grapefruit, and it’s super easy to make! Cheers to a happy and healthy summer!
