I tried Absolute Grapefruit vodka and it naturally tastes similar to Frosty Fruits. I’m not huge on sweet drinks so I was thinking to try this with Soda water and the Grapefruit Absolute rather than the Pasito. The mixed Frosty Fruit and passionfruit pulp should be enough sweetness for me, maybe even a little tart, but i’d like that.
Ohhh, grapefruit vodka, I will definitely have to give that a go as I love grapefruit! Sounds like a great combo with the soda water to bring down the sweetness. Let me know how it tasted! Thanks for the idea
