As I posted in a previous thread, my Wife & I are flying into LA in a few weeks. We have rented a great house in Palm Desert and we're also spending a couple of days at the Beverly hills Hilton (thanks to my Hilton Honor Points!). I'm buying our whole bar setup in LA, likely at Hi Times.

Here's my question: What variety of grapefruit an I likely to find in the LA area? Here in Cincinnati I've only recently found white grapefruit, which are so renown in (and well suited for) Tiki cocktails. Up till now I have only been able to find Ruby Red, Pink & Indian River Grapefruit, which while being very good are just not the same as the white variety. I'm wondering if I should put some white grapefruit into the box that I am shipping via UPS to our rental house, that will have our pool toys, beach towels etc?

I would appreciate any responses that our LA area TC'ers might be able to offer.

Mahalo,

Craig in Cincinnati
