Ingredients

  • 6 ounces fresh grapefruit juice juice from about 2 grapefruits
  • 4 ounces coconut milk
  • 4 ounces white rum
  • 2 ounces Sonoma Syrup Co. Vanilla-Almond Simple Syrup OR 1 ½ ounces vanilla simple syrup (recipe below) and ½ ounce orgeat
  • Wheel of grapefruit to garnish

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients (except garnish) in a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds, then pour into two rocks glasses. Garnish with grapefruit wheel and enjoy!

Notes

  1. To make the Vanilla Simple Syrup: Combine one cup water, one cup sugar and the seeds from one vanilla bean in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool before using.
  2. You could also make a frozen version of these Grapefruit Coladas by using grapefruit sorbet.
  3. If the drink begins to naturally separate, all it will need is a quick stir to get it back in sipping shape.
