If you love grapefruit, this Grapefruit Vodka Press is for YOU! The perfect balance of sour and sweet....and so refreshing for summer!
You know how every now and then you discover something that feels like it was created just for you? Like a pair of jeans that fits perfectly, or a restaurant that has all your favorites, or a new show that immediately captures your attention and hooks you in? Well, I'll never forget the day I discovered the vodka press. It was 2 years ago, at a blogging conference in Chicago, and the second I tasted it I knew it would be my new favorite drink. And let's just say....I was right.
In case you're anything like me, and have somehow made it this far in life without ever knowing about the vodka press, let me tell you about it. It's actually super simple - just vodka, seltzer water, and sprite - garnished with a lime. End of story. And only the best drink ever.
From the moment I discovered it, I've never looked back. I always know exactly what to order at a bar...and exactly what to make when I have friends over for drinks. Because vodka presses seem to fit everyone's tastes! And the possibilities for them are endless.
One of my favorite twists? The Grapefruit Vodka Press. Because when it comes to drinks, grapefruit makes everything better. Seriously, between Grapefruit Mojitos and Palomas and Citrus Sangria, I might have a tiny obsession with grapefruit. And I'm totally okay with that. This Grapefruit Vodka Press is my go-to drink, not just for summer but all year round. It's light, refreshing, and perfectly sweet. But the thing I love about it most? It's made with real grapefruit juice. Which, if you ask me, makes it extra delicious. So. If you haven't ventured into presses, now is the time to change that! Starting, of course, with this Grapefruit Vodka Press. Let's just say you won't be disappointed.

This looks delicious! Not sure I'd enjoy a standard vodka press (not with the quality of vodka that I usually buy 🙂 ) but the grapefruit addition sounds fantastic. Will have to try this the next time I have some friends over.
