How to make:

MUDDLE lime and grapefruit in base of shaker to release juices. Add other ingredients, SHAKE with 6oz scoop crushed ice and pour all without straining into glass.

This bright red fruit-laden cocktail has the looks to appeal to all, but its bittersweet flavour is more polarising.

This is Lip-smackingly good! I was worried about the amount of sugar syrup being added to a liqueur, but I think it's necessary to offset the bitterness of the zest and rind from the muddled fruit. Unless perhaps I'm muddling the fruit too much?
I served this in a bar glass instead of an old fashioned glass thanks to the comment about the volume of the finished product. I was happy with the look of the drink though. (Campirinha)

not sure how all this is supposed to fit into an old-fashioned glass. mine overflowed a double old-fashioned, mostly due to the sheer amount of fruit - 1/4 a ruby red is a lot of fruit for a short cocktail! the end result was tasty but thick with pulp and mangled fruit chunks. not the most visually appealing
