History

I haven't search for a prior occurrence of this drink (although there is the Ladyfriend or Grapefruit Amaretto Sour out there but those are other variants) so I may not have invented it.
However, I thought about it one evening when I found the pink grapefruit juice that was left in a bowl after my wife prepared the desert for our guests.
So when the after dinner came, I tested it on the aforementioned guests with success. It has been adopted ever since.
