I think the recipe and directions seem to be calling for grapefruit juice (eager is named in my case) yet the directions suggest Grapefruit Soda.
Might be ingredients tag issue
Looking at the colour I think this calls for soda?

Thanks for bringing to my attention, Richard. Yes, should be pink grapefruit soda. Now corrected.

Сделал с соком грейпфрута, получилось неожиданно хорошо!
Возможно стоит повторить на выдержанном роме
