I like making up cocktails as I go along. Tonight's was awesome, I thought. I mix them in 2-cup pyrex measuring cups so the measurements are odd for a cocktail
8 oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
6 oz deep eddy red grapefruit vodka
2 oz grand marnier
1 oz st germain
a small slug of bitters (blood orange in this case)
juice from 1-2 limes
small dash of salt
Next time I might add a bit of jalapeno to it to make it spicy, but really good

most of my cocktails I try to balance things -- sweet plus sour with bitter plus salt and maybe plus spicy (and if my wife is drinking it, plus mescal for smokey)
I will tell you that one of the great bastions of male stereotyping of women is with mescal. My wife loves it, but about half the waiters give her a sort of "little lady, do you know what you are asking for" look.
