Ask a question about this stepGreat name, nannydeb! My friends & I use to make this drink, often, using regular Vodka, not sure there was a grapefruit flavored one back then, we always called it our "diet" drink...Fresca was the key ingredient for that. :)
When I saw this posted, my first thought was, "Please, please have Fresca in it!". I would run the grapefruit cubes thru the blender though. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Dang I wish i lived closer! love me some Fresca! this sounds awesome nannydeb.

Nannydeb -- would you consider muddling a wedge of fresh grapefruit with some basil between step 1 and step 2l? I had something similar in Las Vegas and it was a phenomenal combination. Love the ice cube idea! Good luck on the contest.
