The Ruby
“Because it’s grapefruit-based, it’s really got a refreshing, zesty, sweet/tart combination. A lot of froufroudrinks are so over-the-top sweet, but this is truly refreshing. Besides, I think you get a full dose of vitamin C.” —Judi DiGioia, sales and marketing manager, Morton’s of Chicago, Baltimore
