Notes
- Juice Tip: For the best flavor, use fresh pink grapefruit juice—it’s sweeter and more vibrant than bottled.
- Lillet Swap: No Lillet Blanc on hand? Cocchi Americano offers a similar bright and floral profile.
- Glassware Style: A chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass adds elegance while keeping your cocktail perfectly cold.
