Tips for making the Grapefruit Cosmo:
- If you are going to squeeze your own grapefruit, make sure you use ruby red grapefruit
- Slice the garnish different ways, experiment with a grapefruit wheel, a wedge or a chunk
- If you can’t afford premium ingredients, it’s okay to use mid-level as with the robust flavor of the grapefruit, you won’t notice the difference
- Shake vigorously so the ice breaks off in slivers. There is nothing like little ice chips floating in your drink
