I thought I'd bring this back from the dead as I'm now a member of the "can't drink grapefruit juice" tribe. I didn't think it would be a big deal until it hit me: no navy grogs, no jet pilots. My two absolute favorite and go-to exotic cocktails. Not only that, but I'm close to completing my passport over at Ventiki and what have I saved for last, among others? Reverb Crash.

While I'm not the first one who has run into this issue, I've unfortunately not found any passable substitute over the years. I've scourged the internet and thus far have found nothing. Now while I'm sure 1/2 oz - 4 oz in a cocktail, occasionally, is different than a big ol' 12 oz glass of grapefruit juice in the morning, it's a bit early on in my Jynarque/tolvaptan to start rolling the dice.

I've checked out the "grapefruit substitute in a Navy Grog" thread, alas no solution either.
