I’ve just updated my recipe for this cocktail. For the record, this was the previous version:
45 ml Blanco tequila
15 ml Maraschino liqueur
15 ml Lime juice
30 ml Pink grapefruit juice
2 dash Creole-style bitters

We enjoyed this but think that it benefits from a bit of simple syrup (or agave) just to round it out. We added just 2.5ml but maybe 5ml wouldn't be excessive. Our first thought was that it looks like a shy Margarita.

Following Jame's advice, I added only 3/4 oz. grapefruit juice. This made a very tasty cocktail. Of course, I'll try as written to compare.

Absolutely fantastic. I never would have thought to add Peychaud's to this mix, but it brings it all together.

Grapefruit really dominates the flavors in this recipe, and the maraschino can't compensate for the bitterness. I may try cutting the grapefruit by 50%.
