Place a bar strainer onto your shaker and pour the drink into your chilled and rimmed glass until it's ¾’s full. You can add your remaining grapefruit juice or soda into your glass to fill it up if preferred.

To garnish, swirl a grapefruit zest into your cocktail pick and place it either on the rim of your glass or dipped into the glass. Serve and enjoy!
