Grapefruit & Elderflower Cocktail

I know summer’s coming to a close, but I’m just not ready to give up the fresh fruit cocktails on the back deck at night.  It’s just getting dark a lot sooner after the kids’ bedtime now… boo. ;) There are a lot of things I love about fall, but I do really love Michigan summers the most.  Anyway, I’ve got a great cocktail to share based on a Michigan vodka flavor that I’m currently pretty much obsessed with: Valentine’s White Blossom vodka.

Grapefruit & Elderflower Cocktail at www.happyhourprojects.com

I tried White Blossom when we had a date night not too long ago – it’s an elderflower and grapefruit flavor that’s really light.  I can’t even pronounce the ingredients that were in my martini that night, but the flavor was wonderful.  Naturally, I had to buy a bottle and see what I could make easily at home.  (You know, no fuss.  Because that’s just less time you have for enjoying the night.)  If you have trouble locating it where you live, you can also swap out the simple syrup in this recipe for some elderflower syrup and use your favorite vodka.

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
