Cocktail Description
The Ruby Rattler strikes the perfect balance between bright citrus punch and sophisticated herbal complexity—like sunshine in a glass with just enough bite to keep things interesting.
This refreshing cocktail combines the bittersweet tang of fresh ruby grapefruit juice with the orange-rhubarb notes of Aperol and the subtle oak and agave character of Milagro Reposado Tequila. The result is a vibrant, coral-hued sipper that's simultaneously tart, slightly bitter, and gently sweet with a pleasant tequila backbone. It's remarkably simple to prepare—just shake, strain, and garnish with a twist of grapefruit zest that releases aromatic oils with each sip. The Ruby Rattler makes an ideal aperitif for warm weather gatherings or Sunday brunches, though it's equally at home during cocktail hour any time of year. Pair this with Mexican-inspired dishes like fish tacos or ceviche, where the citrus notes complement seafood beautifully, or serve alongside salty snacks like marcona almonds or olive tapenade to balance the cocktail's brightness.
