Tips:
- For the freshest grapefruit flavor, use ripe, juicy grapefruits.
- Use a citrus juicer to extract the maximum amount of juice from the grapefruits.
- If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can also use a fork to squeeze the juice out of the grapefruit halves.
- Be careful not to squeeze the grapefruit seeds, as they can add a bitter flavor to the martini.
- If you like your martinis sweeter, you can add a little simple syrup or honey to taste.
- For a more tart martini, you can use lime juice instead of lemon juice.
- Garnish your martini with a grapefruit twist or a lime wedge for an extra pop of flavor.
