GrapsyCocktail recipe
Rating
The Grapsy cocktail is a zesty and refreshing blend that combines the clean, sharp notes of vodka and gin with the tangy sweetness of grapefruit juice, lemonade, and lime cordial. Served in a cocktail glass, this drink offers a citrus-forward flavor profile with a subtle complexity brought about by the mix of spirits.
The Grapsy provides a delightful sip for those who appreciate a cocktail that balances the bite of citrus with the smoothness of clear spirits, creating a palatable experience especially suited for warm-weather occasions or as a lively aperitif.

FAQ's
What can I use instead of lime cordial in the Grapsy cocktail?
If you don't have lime cordial, you can substitute it with a mixture of fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Use about 5ml of lime juice and 5ml of simple syrup to replace the 10ml of lime cordial, adjusting for taste.
Is there a specific garnish recommended for the Grapsy cocktail?
While the recipe for Grapsy doesn't specify garnishes, a thin slice of grapefruit or a twist of lime would complement the flavors of the cocktail beautifully. You can place it on the rim of the glass or float it on top for a visually appealing presentation.
How does the alcohol content in a Grapsy compare to a standard glass of wine?
The Grapsy has an alcohol content of 12%, which is roughly equivalent to a standard glass of wine, which typically has an alcohol content around 11% to 14%. This makes the Grapsy close to wine in terms of alcohol by volume.
Can I make a sweeter version of the Grapsy cocktail?
Yes, to make a sweeter version of the Grapsy, you can increase the amount of lemonade or lime cordial slightly, or add a teaspoon of simple syrup. Adjusting these ingredients will allow you to sweeten the cocktail to your liking without altering the fundamental character.
Why is the Grapsy cocktail shaken and not stirred?
The Grapsy cocktail is shaken to ensure that the mixture of its ingredients, particularly the viscous lime cordial and the dense grapefruit juice, is thoroughly integrated. Shaking also chills and aerates the drink, providing a more refreshing experience than stirring would.
