Pink grapefruit zest as a liqueur: bright, bittersweet, the craft bar's secret weapon.
Loire Valley, France
The modern reference is Giffard's Crème de Pamplemousse Rose from the Loire, a maceration of pink grapefruit that bartenders quietly treat as a cheat code; Combier makes a rival.
Pink grapefruit zests macerate in neutral spirit with sugar; the peel's oils carry the aroma while the pith brings a pleasant bitterness.
Fresh-cut grapefruit, floral zest, and a bitter pith snap under the sugar; it reads juicy without any juice.
Did you know
The grapefruit itself began as an accident: a pomelo and a sweet orange crossed in 18th-century Barbados, and the result was first described in 1750 as the island's 'forbidden fruit'.
Also known as: crème de pamplemousse liqueur, giffard pamplemouse, grapefruit cordial, pamplemousse liqueur, pamplemousse
