Ruby Red Grapefruit to Relax on Friday

For those who are very dirty martini with three olives kind of people, after a long week of work, it is one of the small pleasures in life on a Friday evening. But then again there are Fridays that you would like to have something with a little bit more flavor and an exotic flare. The ruby red grapefruit martini is a divine alternative that packs more calories, but an alternative flavor and the very necessary antioxidants, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium, folates and Vitamin B5 your body craves to relieve stress.

If you want a small change to your happy hour pleasure, you must try this ruby red gem of a drink. The ruby red grapefruit flavor instantly takes you to the beaches of Florida lined with citrus groves. You can imagine the air full of the crisp, refreshing smell of these beautiful ruby red grapefruit mixed in with the ocean breeze watching the spectacular sunsets. Sigh. Hey, if you can not be there physically, you might as well be there mentally.

A ruby red grapefruit martini is composed of any citrus flavored vodka, a touch of sweetness from triple sec, another dash of flavor from a touch cr̬me de cassis or raspberry liqueur and a few ounces of ruby red grapefruit juice. A little brown sugar on the rim of your martini glass and an optional candied orange slice to garnish and 'Voila!' you are practically in paradise on a Friday night at your local bar Рlounge without the expensive flight costs and hassle of airport security.

If you make this incredible piece of heaven at home, it is recommended you take the time to squeeze your own fresh ruby red grapefruit juice. This way you avoid any of the preservatives, additives and sugars that are added to the juice for shelf life. Mix up your drink and drawl a hot bath. Place the rinds of the ruby red grapefruit in a bowl of hot water next to your tub, light some candles and relax in the tub while your sip on your beautiful beverage. Perhaps a little bit of Caribbean music to go with your Florida hallucination and your ruby red grapefruit martini. Not only will you enjoy your drink and the aromatherapy of the grapefruit peels, you will be able to sit back and let the stress of a work week go in the comforts of your own home. This is the proper way to start your weekend, relaxing at home with a nice ruby red martini in hand.
