Notes
- This cocktail was designed to be a "healthier" cocktail with no added sugar. However, if you want to add a touch of sweetness, you can add 1 ounce simple syrup. While I love grapefruit juice, I realize it might be too bitter for some palates.
- You can substitute club soda or your favorite type of sparkling water if you don't have a grapefruit-flavored water.
