Grapefruit juice, white
Using fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice in your cocktails is ideal. Many classic cocktails used white grapefruit juice, particularly tiki drinks from Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic. Its bittersweet flavor helps with balance and adds complexity to those types of complex cocktails. The sweeter ruby red variety often works better in modern simpler builds. Do not over-squeeze the fruit trying to get every drop as this will release bitter elements from the pith and express too much of the citrus oil. If fresh juice isn’t available, there are some commercially available products available but take caution to find ones that are 100% juice without added sweeteners.
