Bright ruby-red grapefruit vodka gives a fresh citrus-fruity core, tempered by a whisper of extra-dry vermouth and finished with an assertive grind of black pepper for a savory, spicy kick. It’s served very cold in a stemmed cocktail glass with a Castelmadama olive, presenting as a pale pink, pristine drink. Worth trying if you want a spirit-forward, martini-like cocktail with a punchy, peppery edge and a saline counterpoint from the olive.
