Hype Girl Cocktail and Mocktail Recipe
A fruity drink that's not too sweet. Make it with gin or vodka or leave it out for a refreshing mocktail.
Equipment
- cocktail shaker or lidded mason jar
- small strainer
Ingredients
- 1½ oz vodka or gin (omit for mocktail)
- ¾ oz grapefruit juice
- 4 raspberries
- ½ oz beet simple syrup *see note for recipe
- 3+ oz unsweetened grapefruit sparkling water (add more for mocktail recipe)
Instructions
- Add the liquor (optional), grapefruit juice, and raspberries into a cocktail shaker.
- Gently muddle the raspberries, just enough to smoosh them a bit and release the juice.
- Add the beet simple syrup and a generous amount of ice.
- Shake well.
- Double strain** over a cocktail glass that's been filled with ice.
- Top off the rest of the glass with the grapefruit sparkling water and stir.
- Garnish with a grapefruit slice.
Notes
*Don't be intimidated by the beet simple syrup. It's actually quite easy and will only take you a few minutes. Check out the recipe here.
**To double-strain, you'll need a small strainer (like this one). Hold the strainer over your glass while you pour the shaken cocktail. This will catch all the raspberry bits. You can omit this step if you don't mind the raspberry seeds in your drink.
