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. But even within the "white" grapefruit there are varietals (such as Duncan, Marsh, Paradise & Triumph, for example) that can be played with. Ditto the honey. (For the record, my go-to cocktail honey is "orange blossom" honey.) In fact, you could, if you were "foodie" enough, go nuts experimenting with the combinations.
