Spring is approaching with sunnier skies and warmer weather. Grapefruit is at its peak and offers a delicious taste of what is to come with the decidedly more colorful season ahead. What better way to spotlight the sour and semi-sweet citrus fruit than a cocktail? Here are two grapefruit-inspired libations you can sip in the city:
• Tiki Rita – Patron tequila, lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, vanilla syrup, St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, nutmeg and Hawaiian sea salt. (Axis Lounge – $17)
• Paloma – tequila and lime juice topped with grapefruit soda, garnished with a slice of ruby red grapefruit. (Bardot – $16)
