/Fresh squeezed white grapefruit juice really makes this drink something special. Great for after work or a wonderful night cap.
When you fall in love with something you tend to see it out more often. That was the case with Canton ginger liquor. This cocktail combines a spicy ginger liquor with bitter grapefruit, rum and a homemade ginger sour syrup. A truly wonderful liquid vacation.
