  • I agree with betterbatter. I was so excited to see grapefruit juice and tequila...the peppermint schnapps totally blew it for me. I think I'll alter this, use a little more grapefruit juice than they did and maybe some cointreau or grand marnier. And forget the simple syrup, but go with some lemon-lime soda.

  • Years ago I invented a drink I call "recreational medicine": a big glass of grapefruit juice over ice, with 2 or 3 oz of tequila. Refreshing and delicious, full of vitamin C, and the tequila makes you not much care about what's ailing you.

  • peppermint schnapps does not sound good
