Can someone onboard or who knows for sure help me with this? I am not very familiar with cocktails, but I had the Fresh Grapefruit Cosmo onboard the Maasdam and loved it. Since then I have tried to order something similar locally but it was terrible.

Can anyone tell me the precise recipe for the HAL Fresh Grapefruit Cosmo so I can tell a bartender?

Thanks!
