Drinks & Cocktails with Grapefruit Zest

The reason bartenders put zest in drinks isn’t only because it looks pretty. Grapefruit zest happens to contain massive amounts of aromatic oils that can supercharge your cocktails with an intense grapefruit aroma.

If you’ve got a grapefruit at home, use a vegetable peeler to remove a piece of zest, and twist it over cocktails like the Vodka Soda, Greyhound, or Summertime Cookout.
