We all know that I love a good ranch water cocktail! But have you tried adding a flavor to it? Honestly, there are so many flavors that you can add and variations that you can make. One of my favorite added flavors is grapefruit. So today, I am going to share my grapefruit ranch water recipe!
Grapefruit has such a good cocktail flavor. At least, it’s one of my favorite flavors to mix with! A grapefruit ranch water is very refreshing without being too sweet. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can easily add some simple syrup! Or, if you prefer a drier, less sweet cocktail, you can leave it as is! Both versions are delicious and can be made to your liking.
Now, grab your favorite cocktail glass and let’s make a cocktail!
