Rare Bird Brewpub’s Grapefruit Rose

Bottoms Up

Yes, we know it’s strange not to order a beer at a brewery, but every so often you just need something a little lighter. With spring making a fine effort Up North, we’re finding ourselves drawn to all things bright, sweet, and pink…like the Grapefruit Rose, which is on tap at Rare Bird Brewpub in Traverse City. This cocktail starts with a blend of Champagne and Michigan-made vodka, then brings in simple syrup, lime, rose essence, and—of course—a healthy dose of grapefruit juice. The concoction is slightly sweet, slightly tart, and all around refreshing for a sunny spring happy hour. Add an order of the Fried Avocado Tacos to your tab, and you’ll be feeling like it’s July in TC in no time. Get yours ($9) at Rare Bird Brewpub at 229 Lake Ave in Traverse City. rarebirdbrewpub.com
