Note

For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the ice.

If fresh grapefruit juice is unavailable, you can use high-quality bottled juice, but fresh offers a brighter flavor.

Adjust the amount of grenadine to taste if you prefer a less sweet cocktail.

Serve immediately to enjoy the best frothy texture and prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
