To solve this problem I buy a case of 48 Ocean Spray 5.5oz cans of the juice for about $36. delivered from Amazon.com. It may seem pricey to some, but I don't have to worry about the juice going off as I can use it up much quicker. Now . . . fresh white grapefruits are nearly impossible to find - even here in Florida. It seems that the pink and ruby red are all that are carried in the grocery stores. It's a shame, but that's the way it is. Just curious if you ever run across the Indian River grapefruit down there in Florida? I remember seeing a lot of them when I was in Marco Island a few years ago. Anyone know how they work in cocktails??
