The Vodka Grapefruit Sour was first served at the Bombay Club in Mumbai, India in the 1930s. It is reported to have been developed by Mumbai-based bartender Ram Kishore Khurana for customers who wanted a drink similar to a Tom Collins but with vodka instead of gin. It is a cocktail that is made with vodka, grapefruit juice, lemon juice and honey. This cocktail is very light and crisp, perfect for a lunch or dinner-time drink.
