Mahalo everyone. I ran across 'Melogold White Florida Grapefruit' at a local store today. I googled them and learned they are a cross between a Pummelo and a White Grapefruit. A website described them as sweet. Has anyone ever this variety in Tiki Cocktails?

Yep, I've tried them and they don't work for me as a replacement for true white grapefruit. Pumelos no good either. Nor are oro blancos or "cocktail" grapefruits. In my experience anyway. Your mileage may vary.

Personally, I quite like the Melogolds and Oro Blancos. Like, a LOT.
