Ruby Red Spritz

This rosy, bittersweet aperitif is the perfect opener for a Mother's Day dinner. If you want it sweeter, add a dash of simple syrup, or replace the fizzy soda water with a splash of grapefruit soda.

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons (1 ounce) dry gin
2 tablespoons fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) Campari
4 to 6 tablespoons (2 to 3 ounces) chilled dry sparkling rosé
Splash of club soda (optional)
Thyme sprig
Thin Ruby Red grapefruit slice

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a large wine glass halfway with ice. Add gin, grapefruit juice, and Campari. Top with sparkling wine and, if desired, club soda, and stir gently. Smack thyme between your palms, and add to cocktail with grapefruit slice.
