This one was pleasant, but then again I just really like grapefruit and/or salty cocktails. I originally skipped the syrup since I feel like when the amount is this small I prefer to leave it off but I tried adding it after a sip and it's very welcome here.

That said, I 100% will try this with Gin, this feels like it would go crazy with Tanqueray Ten

Tried it with a bar spoon of maraschino: the right amount for me.

I made mine with white grapefruit and found the maraschino to be a bit on the strong side. The drink was even a touch sweet rather than sour. Grapefruits are definitely less tart than when I was a kid!

Found the Maraschino a little overpowering when first sipped. We decided to added about 1/2 oz Cranberry. The cranberry softened the Maraschino. I would agree with the review, I think it may be better with Gin. The flavours in this drink overpower the vodka.

All I had was pre-bottled white grapefruit juice. I think I would've preferred the pink. The flavors did improve as they melded and diluted a bit. Don't bother with a Collins glass for this. I don't know what I was thinking...

Sadly, pink grapefruits are seasonal but fresh grapefruit, like all citrus fruit, is key.

Without the salted rim, this is quite nice and very cherry-forward. With the salted rim however it gives a flavour closer to a blackcurrant rehydration sachet for after stomach illness.

It’s nice, but if you want to cut the salt (Does this make it just a ‘dog’?) then cut the grapefruit to 2 shots and increase the maraschino to 1/2 a shot

Agreed. I've increased the maraschino and reduced the grapefruit. I've also cut the vodka a tad. Now better balanced and better fits a 10oz highball glass.
