The Gin Squirt is a bright, refreshing highball that combines gin with grapefruit juice and soda water for a crisp, lightly bitter, and effervescent profile. Clean and thirst-quenching, it emphasizes citrus lift and carbonation rather than heavy sweetness.
Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the gin and grapefruit juice. Top with soda water and gently stir to combine. Express an orange peel over the drink and serve.
Served over ice in a highball glass, the Gin Squirt is brisk and citrus-driven, finished with expressed orange oils for a clean aromatic lift.
Pairs well with salty snacks, seafood, light fried foods, and aperitif-style dishes.
