Surf Rider Cocktail Recipe
Surf Rider cocktail.
A spirit-forward vodka cocktail with a beach vibe and a tropical taste.
Let’s get one thing straight right from the start: the Surf Rider is a strong drink.
With three full ounces of vodka and an ounce of vermouth, you’re best to approach this surf with caution. That said, if you enjoy a good spirit-forward cocktail for sipping on a summer day, this is one you may want to try.
Featuring fresh squeezed lemon juice and orange juice, the Surf Rider has a citrus profile that is balanced (a little) by the vermouth and grenadine.

Surf Rider Cocktail Ingredients
3 oz vodka
1 oz sweet vermouth
1 oz lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1/2 cup orange juice (ideally fresh squeezed)
1/2 teaspoon grenadine
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with orange. I like to cut the orange into the shape of a surfboard for a little extra presentation fun.
