Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice - Good stuff

[MissMillie]

I've never been much of a juice person, but I think this is one I can live with.

I'm imagining it with vodka.... any other suggestions?

2. Very good stuff

You could also try it with gin and a splash of mineral water.

3. Add some pink "champagne"--Friexenet makes a good one.

Beautifully rosy & a bit more tart than the OJ "mimosa."

8. Where the heck do you find that stuff?

I had a recipe that called for it, and couldn't find any anywhere.

Tips appreciated!

9. I buy it from the local supermarket.

It's normally alongside all of the other juices.

My local supermarket would be a tad far for you to come though...

10. In the OJ section of your grocery store

Just don't brush your teeth right before drinking, or you'll make a sound similar to:

GAAAAHHHHHH!!!

12. Thanks for the tip!

I've never seen it out here in our podunk mega grocery. (They cater to the meat and potatoes bubba crowd out here). I'll check Central Market next time we're in Dallas.)

11. You can thank the Brookhaven National Laboratory....

For Ruby Red & Rio Star Grapefruit. I didn't know this:

BNL initiated a cooperative program in which dozens of organizations sent plant seeds and vegetative grafting stock to the Laboratory for irradiation by various methods, including the Gamma Field, the Graphite Research Reactor and special irradiation chambers. After the material was exposed, it was returned to the home organization for propagation and mutation screening. The organization then tracked mutations that appeared useful....

Another practical result of the BNL irradiation program is gourmet grapefruit – Star Ruby and Rio Red.

In the late 1950’s, a Texas citrus grower found a natural mutation on a Foster Pink grapefruit tree. Called Hudson Pink, the fruit was sweet and red, but contained a lot of seeds.

They really are far more delicious than regular grapefruit.
