History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2021 by Matteo Carretta at Claridge's Hotel in London, England. Matteo's original recipe calls for 10ml acacia honey and xanthan gum syrup in place of the honey syrup I've used.

Review

Delicately bittersweet and sweet 'n' sour with honeyed zesty grapefruit.

I made a mock rosso with 45 ml Cocchi Americano and 5 ml Punt e Mes. This was delicious. I'm often looking for moreish recipes with pink grapefruit, and this one hit the mark.
