Steps:
- For the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the thyme sprigs, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Cut the ends off one of the grapefruits and place cut-side down on the counter. Using a paring knife, cut away the peel. Working over a small bowl or a large glass measuring cup to catch any juices, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment and remove the segments. Place the grapefruit segments in 4 chilled champagne flutes. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl. Discard the membranes. Halve the remaining grapefruit and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
- Strain the simple syrup and grapefruit juice into a small pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the prosecco.
- Pour into the prepared glasses and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if using.
PINEAPPLE GREYHOUND
This one is a twist on the famous "Greyhound" which my dear friend loves! Adding pineapple juice and *Fresh* Grapefruit juice to the vodka makes it different. I had to post this simple tasty twist for my buds in Bevy Tag ;)

Steps:
- Blend raspberries, pineapple juice, and vanilla until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids; pour into a pitcher. Top with wine. Let foam settle; top with seltzer and stir gently to combine. Put a few raspberries in each glass, pour, and serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh grapefruit and pineapple juice. Freshly squeezed juices will give your bellinis a brighter, more vibrant flavor than store-bought juices.
- If you don't have prosecco, you can use another sparkling wine, such as Champagne or Cava. You can also use sparkling water or club soda for a non-alcoholic version of this cocktail.
- Garnish your bellinis with a slice of grapefruit or pineapple, a sprig of mint, or a cherry. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.
- Be careful not to over-muddle the grapefruit and pineapple. If you muddle them too much, you'll release the bitter oils from the grapefruit, which can make your bellinis taste unpleasant.
Conclusion:
Grapefruit pineapple bellinis are a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a festive and flavorful drink, give grapefruit pineapple bellinis a try.
