Cocktail Description
This cocktail sings the perfect harmony between spicy rye whiskey and bitter-sweet citrus, creating a sophisticated fizz that wakes up every taste bud.
The Ginger Grapefruit Rye Fizz balances the bold, peppery character of Rittenhouse Rye with the gentle bitterness of Suze and the herbaceous sweetness of Rosso vermouth. Fresh pink grapefruit juice adds bright acidity while the combination of tonic water and ginger ale brings effervescence and a subtle spice that ties everything together. It's an approachable drink that's perfect for summer evenings on the porch or as a pre-dinner cocktail that stimulates the appetite without overwhelming the palate. This fizz is surprisingly easy to make despite its complex flavor profile—just shake, strain, and top with bubbles. The cocktail pairs beautifully with grilled fish, Thai cuisine, or a cheese board featuring aged gouda and blue cheese, as its citrus notes and gentle bitterness cut through rich foods while the rye backbone stands up to bold flavors.
