Notes
- 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.
- You could also make a frozen version of these Grapefruit Coladas by using grapefruit sorbet.
- If the drink begins to naturally separate, all it will need is a quick stir to get it back in sipping shape.
