Sips & Tips
Technique
Fresh grapefruit juice elevates this from a basic mixed drink to something genuinely refreshing. The bitterness of grapefruit is the key differentiator from a Cape Codder.
Balance
The cranberry provides sweetness and color; the grapefruit provides tartness and complexity. Together they create a more interesting drink than either alone.
