After Oprah Winfrey announced her decision to make an equity investment in the health-driven, locally rooted restaurant brand True Food Kitchen, we learned how to make one of the mega-star and wellness advocate’s favorite cocktails there: the Thai Grapefruit Martini! Using organic, clean ingredients, this tasty tipple will satiate your summer longing for a simple and sweet drink.
Thai Grapefruit Martini
Ingredients
0.5oz lime juice
1oz simple syrup
4 leaves of Thai basil
2oz grapefruit juice
2oz Prairie Organic Vodka
Thai basil leaf for garnish
Directions
Combine 0.5oz lime juice, 1oz simple syrup, 4lvs Thai basil to tin. Muddle, then add 2oz grapefruit juice and 2oz organic vodka. Shake vigorously. Double strain into martini glass. Garnish with Thai basil leaf.
Mixologist’s Note: Make sure you’re always using Thai Basil, as regular basil adds a sweetness that doesn’t flow as well with the grapefruit. The reason we double strain is to remove the tiny bits of Thai basil and to remove the chunks of ice.
