Sips & Tips
Technique
Fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice is a must — it's brighter and more complex than bottled. Pink grapefruit is sweeter; white grapefruit is more bitter and sophisticated.
Balance
If the grapefruit is too tart, add a tiny splash of simple syrup. Salt the rim (making it a Salty Dog) to enhance the grapefruit's natural sweetness.

Variations
Salty Dog
Rim the glass with coarse salt — it transforms the drink by enhancing the grapefruit's sweetness.
