Saving the world one drink at a time
One more pomelo cocktail for the week! This is a spin on the classic Acapulco, a tropical drink with a full bodied pineapple fruit taste. This was an easy substitution with grapefruit juice. No crazy diversions from the original recipe (for now), but great option for that last bit of pomelo juice that you squeezed…
Since Pomelo juice is a great one-for-one substitute for grapefruit juice I mixed it into one of the simplest grapefruit cocktails out there: the Hemingway Special.
