I don't think "grapefruit is grapefruit." Just in the "supermarket/carton" stuff there is a good spectrum of flavors, especially if you consider the full gamut running from white to pink to "ruby" red grapefruits. If you want to go crazy and start pondering all the heirloom varietals and the "squeezed fresh off the tree" possibilities, you'd never emerge from the fog of research.

Just a thought.

IMHO white grapefruit juice is what you want-it has the 'bite' (acidity & bitterness) that's called for. Pink is OK, if it's all you can find. The Ruby Red stuff is too sweet-it's the grapefruit for folks who don't like grapefruit.
