Ruby Grapefruit Fizz
When Neil and I got to know each other, I told him when celebrating I like to drink champagne mixed with orange juice. “Oh, you mean Buck’s Fizz,” he said. At that moment I gave him a blank look, which quickly turned into a worried expression, wondering if he’s from planet Cuckoo. A few years down the line I now know what it is and found out Neil is saner than me. Worrying, isn’t it?
Anyway, back to this drink. In a funny sort of a way this reminds me of Buck’s Fizz. The lemon sorbet makes it a bit different by adding creaminess to it. Omit or reduce the amount of sugar if you like more bitterness. So if you’re on a diet or budget or abstaining, this is the drink for you.
P.S. This drink will join a Blog Party, hosted by Stephanie from Dispensing Happiness.
