What is Giffard Pamplemousse?

It's a liqueur made by infusing the zest of pink grapefruit. With a refreshingly floral and slightly zesty taste, it's a wonderful addition to your home bar!

I can't find fresh grapefruit. Can I buy the juice instead?

Absolutely. While freshly squeezed grapefruit juice is the best for greatest flavor, store bought will do a decent job (and save you a little time).

What's the mint for in your photos?

Just a garnish! I didn't actually use it in the recipe but I find that the scent of a sprig while sipping on this particular cocktail is lovely.
