Some people say that grapefruits are an acquired taste. They are tart with a tinge of bitterness, it’s easy to see why that’s a thing. Combine it with a little Sugar Maple Wood Finished Bourbon and some Grade A Maple Syrup though and you got yourself one well-balanced cocktail. The garnish is important here. Fresh peppermint is believed to have calming effects, and what’s more calming than enjoying a delicious cocktail on your own on a beautiful sunny day? Nothing. Take some “me-time” this weekend and craft yourself a Ruby Red Derby. Cheers!
