Fresh-squeezed and hangover-worthy

As a general rule, I don’t eat fruit in its original form. (It’s a texture thing that most people don’t seem to understand.) But I really dig fruit flavors (although it would be super if real fruit tasted more like Jolly Ranchers), so I’m a sucker for smoothies and other fruit-infused beverages – margaritas and martinis, especially.

When I got word that Press served up a fresh-squeezed grapefruit maritini – the Grapefruitini, how very clever – I got myself over there faster than you can say bioflavonoid . That lovely glass holds a full serving of zingy, honest-to-goodness grapefruit flavor without the gaggy, squirty consistency. Plus, enough Finlandia Grapefruit Vodka in each sip to wipe all traces of fruit phobia from my mind. It wiped plenty of things from my mind, actually. Just like a good drink should. (These doozies are served as doubles. Double the alcohol. Double the buzz. Double the hangover – and totally worth it.)
