Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, blend the frozen yogurt separately before adding the other ingredients. You can substitute the 151 rum with a lighter rum if you prefer a less intense flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum and vodka with more grapefruit soda and a splash of club soda. This recipe is perfect for summer parties or gatherings.

This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To rehydrate the drink, simply stir it well and serve over fresh ice. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture of the yogurt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cocktail ahead of time?
While it's best served fresh, you can prepare the ingredients and store them separately. Mix the liquids in advance and blend with yogurt and ice just before serving for optimal freshness.
Is there a way to make this drink less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness, use less grenadine and opt for a diet grapefruit soda. You can also add a splash of lime juice for a tart balance.
What can I use instead of grapefruit soda?
If grapefruit soda isn't available, you can substitute it with tonic water or a lemon-lime soda for a different flavor profile. Just be aware that this will alter the overall taste of the drink.
