Very refreshing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did this the lazy way and just sprinkled some sugar in rather than making the simple syrup, but I had the sweetest... grapefruit to begin with. What a very nice and refreshing drink.Read more

Hemingway?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This drink, although named a Hemingway by Michael's friend is not the traditional recipe for a Hemingway. I learned this when... I hired a bartender for a formal party and asked him to make Hemingways. He didn't know what they were and when we tried to look up the recipe [this recipe wasn't available online at the time] we came up with something entirely different. That being said, this is a fabulous drink. Shortly after this show originally aired, I tried the drink at home and even though I'm not a straight grapefruit drinker, I ADORED this drink. Try it... it's great. Also try Michael's technique to segment citrus fruit. It's not at difficult as you would think.Read more
