Moroccan Ruby Cocktail Recipe

A flavor explosion on your tongue, this Moroccan Ruby Cocktail is citrus-y, sweet, and totally delicious. Combining grapefruit and cranberry, the Moroccan Ruby is an excellent year-round cocktail to serve at a party, get-together, or as a special treat.

Note: You can stir the drink if you like to disperse the maraschino cherry juice. It actually tastes more uniform if you do (instead of very sweet for the last sip). The maraschino cherry juice will sink to the bottom though, and the drink looks beautiful that way!

OMG, Hubby and I were experimenting with this one. He had purchased this drink during a night out last month. We decided to try and replicate or improve upon it at home. While experimenting, we each drank at least two of these (in some combination of measurement). About 45 minutes later they hit me like a ton of bricks! Be wary of this one. It packs a greater punch than you might think when your are consuming it.

A few days later when I made a few more Moroccan Ruby cocktails to take photographs, I knew enough to not drink more than one!
