This is so fantastic, you won’t believe it. In the produce section of your local market, purchase grapefruit in chilled jars.

Terry’s right, you won’t believe how good this is! Obviously, you have to be a grapefruit lover to enjoy this, and that I am! I used the sectioned mixed grapefruit that was recommended and it took less than 5 minutes to put this together. If you do the math, 3 oz. gin per 8 serving dishes comes out to a generous 2 tsp., not one. You could get away with buying one mini-bottle of gin for this recipe or add the extra to each salad, that’s what I did and it wasn’t strong at all. Luckily for me, I’m the only one in the house who appreciates grapefruit so this salad was all mine!
