Have you heard? It’s National Vodka Day! No? That’s okay. I actually didn’t remember what day it was until I woke up this morning and saw it all over Twitter (and I call myself “Chief Cocktail Shaker” around here…the nerve.) Anyway, National Vodka Day is the perfect opportunity to introduce a recipe we’ve been working on over here. It’s our twist on the Gimlet, using Ruby Red vodka and our original flavor of Drink Skinny.

Ruby Red is one of our favorite flavored vodkas, so we’re always trying to find another drink to use it in! This grapefruit gimlet is simple, colorful, and SUPER tasty. It’s even worth a try if you think you’re not a grapefruit fan–it’ll surprise you. And have I mentioned it’s only 115 calories? Winning!
