How to Make Ruby Red Rocket Cocktail

  1. If desired, prepare the glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled martini glass. Dip the rim into brown sugar, ensuring it adheres evenly.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  3. Add 2 ounces of Absolut Ruby Red Vodka (or other citrus vodka), 1 ounce of triple sec, and 1 ounce of ruby red grapefruit juice to the shaker.
  4. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  5. Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
  6. Carefully pour 1/2 ounce of crème de cassis or raspberry liqueur down the side of the glass, allowing it to settle at the bottom for a layered effect.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
