Ingredients:
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges) |
1/2 cup freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice (1 grapefruit) |
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon) |
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes) |
1 cup good vodka, such as grey goose or finlandia (optional) |
extra lemon juice |
granulated sugar |
fresh mint sprigs |
Directions:
1. Combine the orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and vodka, if using, in a pitcher. Dip the rim of 6 martini glasses first in a dish with lemon juice and then a dish with sugar. Set aside to dry.
2. When ready to serve, place ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, add the cocktail mixture to fill the shaker three-quarters full, and shake for about 30 seconds. It's important to shake for a full 30 seconds to get the drink very cold and dilute it slightly with the ice. Pour into the sugared martini glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint. Continue filling the shaker with ice and cocktail mixture until all the drinks are poured. Serve ice cold.
