For an extra layer of complexity, consider using pink grapefruit for its sweeter, more floral notes. Adjust the amount of salt to your personal preference. Start with a smaller pinch and add more to taste. To elevate the presentation, rim the glass with salt before pouring in the cocktail. Experiment with different gins to discover your preferred flavor profile. A citrus-forward gin will complement the grapefruit beautifully. If you prefer a less tart cocktail, add a splash of simple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten.
