Sometimes it’s nice to have a really straighforward cocktail that is well balanced. This one ticks all those boxes. Could be thrown together in a trice (or after coming back from an ice water championships holiday) and none the worse for that.

Very refreshing. We were just slightly shy of the amount of grapefruit juice needed so added a few drops of grapefruit bitters to balance the sweetness. Perfect relaxing on a late afternoon.

You make a good point, Jim. I've added notes about the mainbrace and the origin of the term "splice the mainbrace."
