Help me name this cocktail II

[Col Angus]

Here's another one. This one is based on the classic Negroni cocktail which is equal parts gin, red vermouth and Campari. My variation is not as bitter and adds a sour component. The end result tastes a lot like grapefruit juice.

Two parts gin (I like Beefeater), one part red vermouth (Cinzano is good), one part Campari and one part fresh lemon juice. Add ice and shake vigorously.

My name for it is the Ruby Red. Any other suggestions?



P.S. I highly encourage you to try one at home to help inspire your creativity.

How about... "bitter this, bitter that"

Or maybe not - can't always trust reflex creativity.

Tastes like grapefruit juice? How about the "Better Luck Next Time"?

(Grapefruit juice is gross)

I think Ruby Red is great, especially if it taste like grapefruit.

Forbidden Nectar

Grapefruit was once known as the forbidden fruit

or

Texas Tea

Ruby Red Grapefruit is a staple in Texas

Very nice, bacari. I especially like "Forbidden Nectar". "Texas Tea" makes me think of something black, since I think it originally referred to oil.
