I’m alway on the hunt for cocktails that use grapefruit, a favorite of mine. The wonderful interweb introduced me to the Blinker and I decided to muck around with the recipe a little to come up with my own Sperris Blinker. I didn’t have any grenadine or raspberry syrup so I used sweet vermouth.
Turned out pretty well thanks to some great rye and vermouth from my sister
And some beautiful grapefruits.
