This easy Transfusion drink recipe turns vodka, Concord grape juice, lime, and ginger ale into a bubbly highball. A golfer’s favorite cocktail!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 ounces* vodka
  • 2 ounces Concord grape juice
  • 1/2 ounce lime juice
  • 4 ounces ginger ale or ginger beer
  • Ice, for serving (or try clear ice)

Instructions

  1. Add the vodka, Concord grape juice, and lime juice to ice filled highball glass and stir.
  2. Top off with the ginger ale.

Notes

*For conversion to tablespoons: 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons

Mocktail variation: Omit the vodka, use 3 oz Concord grape juice, 1/2 oz lime juice, and 4 oz ginger beer.

Make ahead tips: Mix the vodka, grape juice, and lime together up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerate (for an 8 serving pitcher it would be 2 1/2 cups vodka, 2 cups grape juice and 1/2 cup lime juice). Add 5 oz juice mix and 4 oz ginger ale glass by glass right before serving so it stays fizzy.
