With the preponderance of Gins that are expanding the parameters of what’s possible in the category, it makes sense to look for cocktail ingredients that accentuate particular characteristics in some of the new world types. Giffard Pampelmousse has been around for a long time, and it’s time to rediscover it as a perfect foil for Gins like Empress 1908 or Drumshanbo Irish. Pure pink grapefruit aromas and flavors are lively and bright, and translate on the palate with a pleasant bittering zesty note that cuts the sweetness and adds complexity. 92
