# Breakfast Citrus Cocktails The Greyhound is the Ideal Morning Gin Beverage to Serve By M | Published 2015-09-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citrus-cocktails References: [food52](http://food52.com/blog/13988-don-t-eat-grapefruit-for-breakfast-put-it-in-your-drink) & [food52](http://food52.com) If you're someone that enjoys a cocktail with breakfast, these refreshing Greyhound citrus cocktails might be the perfect pairing to your brunch meal. These decadent drinks are infused with fresh grapefruit juice and gin to give adults something a bit more mature to drink at breakfast. This Greyhound cocktail is made using two and a half shots of [Tanqueray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recipe-by-diageo) gin topped off with [freshly squeezed grapefruit juice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grapefruit-fizz) and a pinch of salt. The salt contrasts the acidic citrus and brings out the flavors more. You can use pre-bought grapefruit juice or if you have a juicer handy can make fresh juice in a pinch. After all the motto of this drink according to blog [Food 52](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homemade-brand-ice-cream) is, "Don’t eat grapefruit for breakfast. Juice it and put it in your drink." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Breakfast Citrus Cocktails:** Opportunity for bars and restaurants to offer innovative breakfast cocktail menus that cater to adults looking for a mature drink in the morning. - **Refreshing Greyhound Citrus Cocktails:** Potential for citrus juice producers to market their products as a key ingredient in morning cocktails, appealing to consumers who enjoy a refreshing and tangy beverage to start their day. - **Infusing Fresh Grapefruit Juice:** Opportunity for juicer manufacturers or juicing services to promote the ease and convenience of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for making breakfast cocktails at home. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bars and Restaurants:** Opportunity for bars and restaurants to offer innovative breakfast cocktail menus that cater to adults looking for a mature drink in the morning. - **Citrus Juice Producers:** Potential for citrus juice producers to market their products as a key ingredient in morning cocktails, appealing to consumers who enjoy a refreshing and tangy beverage to start their day. - **Juicer Manufacturers or Juicing Services:** Opportunity for juicer manufacturers or juicing services to promote the ease and convenience of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for making breakfast cocktails at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cocktail-Ready Grapefruit Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beefeater-grapefruit.md) - [Miso-Based Breakfast Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miso-hungover.md) - [Bartender-Quality Martini Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-goose-classic-martini-cocktail.md) - [Botanically Boosted Juniper Sours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juniper-sour.md) - [Artisanal Gin Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recipe-by-diageo.md) - [Gin Lemonade Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-lemon.md) - [Fan-Selected Grapefruit Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtub-gin-grapefruit.md) - [Grape-Infused Vodka Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grapeinfused-vodka-cocktail.md) - [Branded Homemade Alcoholic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vodka-lime-and-soda.md)
