Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! If you are hosting a brunch, a bridal shower, or just want to celebrate the weekend, the Ruby Red Royal is your go-to cocktail. It perfectly balances the tart bitterness of grapefruit with the sweet, floral notes of elderflower liqueur, all lifted by the crisp bubbles of champagne.

Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 3 Minutes

• Servings: 1 Drink

• Difficulty: Super Easy

Ingredients

• 1 oz Premium Gin

• 1/2 oz Elderflower Liqueur (like St-Germain)

• 1.5 oz Ruby Red Grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed if possible)

• 3 oz Chilled Champagne or Prosecco

• GND Blood Orange Slices for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine base: In a cocktail shaker, add the gin, elderflower liqueur, and grapefruit juice.

2. Quick shake: Add a little ice and do a very quick 5-second shake just to chill the ingredients.

3. Strain & Top: Strain into a large flute or a chilled coupe glass. Top gently with the cold champagne.

4. Garnish: Float a dramatic, dark-hued dehydrated blood orange slice in the glass.

💡 GND Pro-Tip: Enhance the stunning pink hues of this cocktail with a contrasting garnish. Our dehydrated Blood Orange Slices not only look spectacular against the ruby red liquid, but they also introduce a deep, caramelized citrus note that ties the whole drink together. 👉 Shop GND Blood Orange Slices
