Definitely a post-meal cocktail. Might be because we used a cheaper triple sec, but it started out very sweet before having a much needed hum of sourness and bitterness from the Citrus-infused vodka and grapefruit juice. Pretty good!

Very nice. Being we like our cocktails drier, we omitted the sugar syrup and put in a splash of grenadine to add a little more pink (our pink grapefruit juice was not very pink). Nice with a hint of sweetness. Would probably put in a splash of pomegranate juice next time also.
