The ruby rum sunrise takes the tequila sunrise to the next level by adding grapefruit and rum. As you drink it, you will notice the grenadine rising to the surface. A lighter ruby red grapefruit background and rum are the only differences. This drink’s flavored rum will make you feel like a kid again. It makes sense to use citrus rum and you can even increase the grapefruit flavor by using it. Tropical fruits like mango and pineapple are also good options worth trying. Adding a rich flavor dimension to the dish, vanilla rum will make it even better.

- It is possible to make the drink with as much grapefruit juice as you like.
