🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass
Pink grapefruit juice and grenadine balance rye whiskey here, sharpened with grapefruit bitters and a couple drops of saline solution. That grapefruit gives it a more bitter, adult edge than a standard whiskey sour's usual lemon or lime. Simple, punchy, and well-balanced, it's a favorite among bartenders digging into early 20th-century American cocktail books. Shaken hard and served up, it rewards using a genuinely high-proof rye.
Shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain into a chilled coupe. Express a grapefruit zest twist over the drink and use as garnish.
