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,

Ruby, ruby, ruby....EVERYWHERE!

If you realy poke around, AND get lucky, you'll find yellow and white. But, ruby red took over a few years ago.
