It’s a rough world out there right now. Our minds and bodies are exhausted. At this point, I don’t think this post needs any kind of explanation or introduction. All we will say is…anyone else in need of a cocktail? 
Amen. 
That’s what we thought, too! So, let’s get right into it. Today’s featured recipe is a beautiful and delicious favorite, just in time for the last few weeks of summer. This Skinny Grapefruit Greyhound is refreshing, packs the perfect boozy punch, and is made with one of our favorite swaps to make our cocktails low-cal…Sparkling Ice! 
No need to cut up and squeeze fresh grapefruit, it’s all added with the Grapefruit Sparkling Ice! Although, you can add grapefruit slices for garnish if you wish, like we did!
We love celebrating the end of a long week, or just a summer evening with one of these babies. We highly suggest you do, too. 
Grab your booze, and let’s get our happy hour on, shall we?
