Author Notes
I fell in love with a cocktail featuring grapefruit at one of the girls night out evenings last summer. I knew that I had to come up with something that I could enjoy at home so I wouldn't have to worry about driving home. This has become the most requested cocktail that I make. —Julie @ HostessAtHeart
