What do you get when you mix bourbon and grapefruit? You get a delicious concoction we like to call a Bourbon Grapefruit Sour. While we love a good whiskey sour, sours can also be made with bourbon. Bourbon's sweetness is the perfect compliment for the citrus fruit. Not only is this a memorable cocktail for your taste buds, but by using simple syrup instead of sour mix, you are saving on the calories. And by using fresh grapefruit juice you are eliminating the sugar you get from traditional sour mix. So break out your cocktail shaker and give these ingredients a serious shake and you will have yourself a fresher, healthier sour! Enjoy!

Recipe:
2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
2 oz bourbon
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
Garnish with fresh mint
