Yes, You Should Mix Rum with Grapefruit Juice
Watch bartender Ivy Mix fix her Appleton® Rum, Campari® and grapefruit juice drink.

Courtesy Ivy Mix
Thank you Appleton® for partnering with Half Full on the Bartenders At Home cocktail video series.
What inspired you to create this cocktail? “I always like a drink that requires some smashing of ice! Drinks that can be built rather than shaking or stirring are a nice easy way to make a cocktail and also make less dirty dishes! Plus, they look beautiful.”
When would you serve this drink? “I think this is a late afternoon or brunch time cocktail.”
What food would you pair it with? “Jerk chicken would be great.”
