The flavor profile between red and white grapefruit is such that I wouldn't consider them interchangeable in a drink. The Purple Orchid makes a drink with ruby grapefruit juice and it's not high on my list. I had a conversation about this with a mixologist recently, and his advice is to use a dash of grapefruit bitters if you are using anything other than fresh squeezed white grapefruit juice; it adds to the brightness of the juice.
