The Gourmet Review

This freshly squeezed grapefruit cocktail with Absolut Ruby Red Vodka is refreshingly addictive, but lives or dies with the ingredients. Guaranteed you will get great raves for this party drink. The cocktail is named the “19th Hole” and is featured at the golf club bar at Four Seasons Hualala on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Bartenders won’t know this drink, so look up the recipe on The Gourmet Review and make sure the bartender uses fresh grapefruit juice, preferably Ruby Red grapefruit. Enjoy. This is SO good.
