If you’re after something both bitter and refreshing, this Pink Grapefruit Negroni has you covered. It takes the familiar trio of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari and lightens it up with a splash of grapefruit juice. The result is a perfectly balanced sipper that’s a little sweeter, a little tangier, and just as sophisticated as the original.
