Grapefruit Liqueur

A citrus liqueur made from grapefruit zest or juice macerated in neutral spirit, typically 16-20% ABV. Bright, lightly bitter pink-grapefruit flavor with floral citrus aromatics. Style examples include Combier Pamplemousse Rose, Giffard Pamplemousse, Pages Pamplemousse, and Drillaud Pamplemousse. Used in modern citrus cocktails (Brown Derby variants, paloma riffs, French aperitif drinks) where a grapefruit-zest character is the defining note.
