A refreshing and visually stunning cocktail perfect for summer evenings.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Using fresh ice ensures the drink stays cold without diluting it too much.
Add the white rum and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice to the shaker.
Shake vigorously to mix the ingredients thoroughly and chill the drink.
Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
A good shake helps to blend the flavors and aerate the drink slightly.
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice.
Use a fine strainer to ensure a smooth drink without pulp or ice shards.
Gently pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon into the glass to create a layered effect.
Pouring slowly over a spoon helps the grenadine settle at the bottom for a beautiful gradient.
Garnish with a slice of grapefruit and a sprig of fresh mint.
Adding a garnish not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a fresh aroma to the drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sunset Grapefruit Cooler.
Serve with a straw to allow the drinker to mix the layers if desired.
