Hi.

Welcome to my food blog.

I’m a Cajun cook in Cleveland, Ohio documenting my recipes, tips and food photography.

Grapefruit & Pear Spritz

GRAPEFRUIT & PEAR SPRITZ WITH PEACH INFUSED VODKA

Summer is in full swing, and I’m always in the mood for some fruit themed drinks. It’s too refreshing to pass up especially on these hot days. Living in Cleveland it doesn’t get nearly as hot as down South, or as humid, but it does get in the 90’s sometimes, and I definitely love a good cocktail to cool us off!

These grapefruit spritz really do the trick, and they are SO refreshing and not too sweet. Did I mention they were beautiful too? You just can’t beat a grapefruit pink. Add a sassy rosemary sprig for a nice contrasting aroma too!

Use club soda to finish the drink off and enjoy some cool carbonation!
