This pamplemousse fizz mixes gin and grapefruit juice with the sweet floral flavors of St. Germain elderflower liqueur and tops it with the crisp bite of seltzer water.
Happy Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am. Marc is home from work early today, and his mom is visiting this week, so we’re planning on taking Ellie to a pumpkin patch and corn maze. Then, Ellie’s second birthday party is tomorrow. Her second birthday. What is happening?
Unlike her first birthday, I’m making this one really easy on myself. I’m only inviting my parents, Marc’s mom, and my sister and niece. That’s it. I’m making a little spread of food for us to eat and the “party” is going to be at noon so Ellie doesn’t have to sit around all day looking at her cake.

Anyway, back to this drink. I’m so excited to announce that I’ve been asked to join Drizly’s Top Shelf Blogger Program. Drizly is a website that works with local stores and will deliver alcohol directly to your door. Could that be any cooler? You don’t even have to leave your house to make this pamplemousse fizz. It’s been so fun partnering with them to create this cocktail, and there will be more to come.
This drink is so delicious. The gin pairs so well with St. Germain and the grapefruit juice. It’s almost perfection. Maybe it is. I think I’ll have to make another to decide. Either way, it’s definitely worth a try.
