CANTEEN Ruby Red Vodka Soda Shines on its Own or as a Mixer

— In the 1980s there was a fad diet called simply “The Grapefruit Diet.” The premise was pretty simple – eat lots of grapefruit and not much else. Even though it didn’t last, the diet likely contributed to a growing number of people who now have an appreciation for the flavor of grapefruit. Unlike its cousin fruit the orange, grapefruit has an earthier tartness – almost bitter but not quite. Some people choose to sweeten their grapefruit with cane sugar or brown sugar, but others prefer the traditional, unadulterated taste of plain grapefruit all on its own. Once the tartness passes, the sweetness erupts in your mouth with a blissful taste sensation. Taking that grapefruit experience and giving it an adult seltzer twist is CANTEEN Ruby Red Vodka Soda.
