Cocktail Grapefruit

Uses:

Cocktail Grapefruit are exceptionally sweet and juicy. They are not actually a true grapefruit, but a cross between a Frua Mandarin and a Pummelo. This variety has a similar flavor to a grapefruit but is sweeter and less acidic. Cocktail Grapefruits are grown in the Central Valley of California and they are hand picked for the best quality.

Looking much like a grapefruit with a yellow and green rind, this hybrid citrus actually combines the sweetness of a Mandarin with the wonderful flavor of the Pummelo. The result is a fruit similar to grapefruit in taste but without the bitterness or acidity. You can eat it as you would a traditional grapefruit (cut in half and with a spoon) but there is no need to add sugar to this refreshing treat.
