\nHere’s to the weekend. This drink is sure to knock your socks off. It’s my absolute favorite. I was introduced to this drink by my best friend Danielle’s Mom (B) who made it for Dan’s engagement party a few years ago. It takes a little bit of time and energy to make… but it’s well worth it! Nice work B!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pamplemousse is the French word for grapefruit, which is one of the main ingredients in this vodka drink.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
