Now however, I'm faced with a new dilemma, for there were not one, but two varieties of white fleshed grapefruits: the Oro Blanco and the cocktail grapefruit. The oro blanco is the bigger of the 2, with paler flesh, while the cocktail is about the size of an orange with darker flesh. Tasted by themselves, I'd say the oro blanco is a little bit "brighter" in aroma and flavor, but I suppose the real question is which variety, if either, was Don using for his drinks?
