Summer Salad
Created by Taylor Lax – West Hollywood, California
My inspiration for this drink was from a watermelon salad with fresh cut grapefruit. I wanted to make a sweet savory cocktail that replicated those fun flavorful ingredients in summer salad. Deep Eddy Grapefruit has such light sweetness and tartness it really brings me right to the summer months where all produce is thriving.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 oz Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
- 1 bar spoon champagne vinegar
- 3/4 Olive Oil Washed Gin*
- 1 oz Salted Watermelon Tomato Cordial**
- 1/2 lemon juice
Preparation: Whip shake with pebble ice in a Tulip glass. Garnish with fresh dill and cracked black pepper. *Olive oil washed gin: 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil, 1 750 gin. Put into deli and shake then place in freezer until olive oil freezes and strain out salted watermelon tomato cordial. **Blend 2 parts watermelon, 1 part cherry tomatoes for 30 seconds. Strain out solids and measure 200 g of juice by weight and 100 g of sugar. Also add 1g of salt per 100 g of liquid and .25 teaspoon citric acid per 200 g.

Ruby Red Summer Refresher
Created by Erin Przybyla – Baltimore, Maryland
I know that sometimes grapefruit is a little too tangy for some people so I wanted to make a summer inspired Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit drink that was for those who normally wouldn’t order a grapefruit cocktail. The addition of the watermelon and pineapple along with the base liquor’s sister juice, pink, creates the perfect combination of tangy and sweet. The rose petals and candied ginger are perfect for the summer aesthetic. It’s the perfect summer cocktail!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit
- 1 oz Pineapple Juice
- 1 oz Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice
- 1/2 oz Watermelon Syrup
- Dried Rose Petals
Preparation: Layer dried rose petals in while adding ice to highball glass. Add 1.5oz Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit, Add 1/2 oz Watermelon Syrup. Add 1oz of Pineapple Juice. Add 1oz of Fresh Squeezed Pink Grapefruit Juice. Garnish with candied ginger.
