FRENCH GREYHOUND AND GROVE GREYHOUND

By Wendy Franzen of Fletcher & Fork

PHOTOGRAPHY AND RECIPE BY WENDY FRANZEN OF FLETCHER & FORK

French Greyhound Receipe And Photography By Fletcher & Fork

When February’s bitter cold is on miserable repeat, bright, citrus-forward cocktails feel like liquid sunshine. The French Greyhound is my playful, elevated twist on a classic Greyhound. It combines grapefruit’s bittersweet juice with the just-sweet-enough elderflower liqueur, St-Germain. Meyer lemon—with its complex herbal and citrusy floral notes—ties the ingredients together in an elegant bow. The Grove Greyhound is a refreshing, zingy zero-proof cocktail that can be served alongside French Greyhounds at your next gathering. Seedlip’s Grove 42—a distilled non-alcoholic spirit with notes of lemon, mandarin, ginger, and lemongrass—brings a je ne sais quoi sophistication that delights.

FRENCH GREYHOUND

The Meyer lemon in this recipe is worth seeking out. Though it merely rims the glass and serves as garnish, its perfume and complexity shine through. If you cannot find Meyer lemons, simply substitute with a traditional lemon. Serve cocktail as written or add a splash of chilled sparkling water to each glass for a light, brunch-worthy take.

SERVES 1

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 ounces freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce St-Germain
  • 1 Meyer lemon (or a traditional lemon), sliced into wheels
  • Superfine sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare glass: Cut a 1/2-inch slit into the edge of a lemon wheel. Place slit on glass rim, circling the circumference. Pour sugar into a small plate or coaster, then dip glass straight into sugar without twisting to coat rim. Allow to dry.
  2. Pour vodka, grapefruit juice, and St-Germain into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shaking until well chilled.
  3. Strain into prepared glass filled with ice.
  4. Garnish with a lemon slice.
