The Transfusion is a crisp, golf-club classic that drinks like a highball with attitude—bright citrus, juicy Concord grape, and a clean ginger finish. It’s fast to pour, easy to batch, and dangerously refreshing at the turn.
Grape Ginger Highball Built

This is the Transfusion with better ingredients and better bubbles: Concord grape for deep fruit, fresh lime for snap, and Top Hat Craft Ginger Beer to keep the finish spicy, bright, and clean. It’s a one-glass build that works for spirit drinkers and zero proof guests alike—no muddling, no drama, just a cold, repeatable pour.
Method
- Fill a Collins or highball glass completely with fresh ice.
- Add 1.5 oz Vodka or Spirit of Choice or Zero Proof Spirit Alternative.
- Add 1 oz Concord red grape juice.
- Add 0.25 oz fresh lime juice (or a large squeeze).
- Top with 6 oz Top Hat Craft Ginger Beer.
- Give a gentle stir to integrate without killing the bubbles.
- Garnish with a sliced lime—optional fresh mint for extra lift.
Pro move: Use real Concord juice (not “grape cocktail”) for depth. Mint makes it feel like a summer spritz; lime-only keeps it classic and snappy.
