Oro Blanco aka White Grapefruit cultivated 1958 onwards. That's not intended to be disheartening, the way modern fruit cultivation is, I'm pretty sure all fruits have been subtly 'improved' or changed over the years. I've never seen that smaller Mandelo/cocktail grapefruit before - I've had pomelo before (a sweeter large grapefruit type citrus), I haven't used it in cocktails. I'd definitely be interested in hearing your thoughts :)
