Made for Eurovision. Slightly artificial but in a good way. Like Eurovision.

Increasing the grapefruit juice helps this very much. It's noticeable enough otherwise.

Agreed! I've also split the sugar syrups to introduce more grapefruit flavour.

Taste of vanilla was too strong for me personally. Added some Chambord which helped but changed the taste too much from the intended drink I imagine
