Description
Saltwater Woody Real Grapefruit is an American flavored rum with a coastal twist. It starts with the brand’s original rum, made by hand in small batches. That rum is cut to proof with diluted salt water. Then it is blended with real grapefruit juice and bottled at 35% ABV, or 70 proof.
The makers say the salt draws out flavor and softens bitterness. It also lifts the natural sweetness and aroma of the fruit. So you get a bright, juicy citrus pour rather than a sharp one.
The nose is fruity, with fresh grapefruit right up front. On the palate, grapefruit and other citrus lead the way, with soft warmth underneath. The finish is smooth and stays with you for a while.
Keep it simple when you serve it. Pour it over ice, or top it with soda water and a squeeze of lime. It also makes a quick grapefruit highball or a fun spin on a Paloma. Serve it chilled next to seafood or a citrus salad.
It suits you if you love citrus drinks that need very little fuss. Bring it to the beach, the porch or a backyard cookout.
