Like John below, I was brought here in my search for a grapefruit cocktail. This definitely has grapefruit character, but well balanced with rum, plenty of lime tartness, and a bit of maraschino funk on the end. Very good, and 2/2 for me so far with Anders Erickson drinks.

We were looking for a new cocktail with grapefruit. What a wonderful find. Very spirit forward which would have pleased Hemingway. Wonderfully dry with the tang of the grapefruit. Great version
