This was my first use of Agave Nectar, which I didn't realize was basically just a substitute for simple syrup. It added a less-than-attractive color to the drink, but it has a really smooth sweetness that's a little stronger than simple syrup. It adds a perfect balance to the bitterness of the grapefruit.
Ingredients:
Grapefruit Vodka (used Finlandia)
White Wine (used Sauvignon Blanc)
Agave Nectar
Grapefruit Juice
In a shaker add 1 oz grapefruit vodka, 1 oz white wine, 1 oz grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed is always best), 1/2 oz agave nectar and ice. Shake vigorously to make sure the nectar mixes in and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a segment of grapefruit.
