5. Top with grapefruit juice. 6. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit and serve.

Book Pairing: The House In The Cerulean Sea (Reviewed April 29, 2020) Why? Pretty self-explanatory. The majority of the book takes place on an island in the sea. Salty. Water. Sea. Salty Dog. I do think the grapefruit juice is a good choice - not a favorite fruit folks are pining for - misunderstood - it's there because it's healthy & your doctor makes you. But if you walk through the steps properly, it's a solid drink. Cheers!
