Ruby Red Derby

With some extra grapefruit left over from a cocktail earlier this week, I decided to whip up a classic Brown Derby. But as I sat there sipping, I remembered the cranberry syrup I had made recently—and the creative wheels started turning. Instead of honey, I swapped in the cranberry syrup, and wow, it was the perfect call! The tartness of the cranberry beautifully balanced the grapefruit, creating a delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors.
