Got this recipe from Woodford Reserve. We couldn't believe that a distillery that makes and ages as good of a whiskey as they do would then soak it in grapefruit. But it is delicious! The grapefruit actually enhances the flavor of the bourbon. It is definitely worth the effort to make this.

I love how this recipe keeps the classic Old Fashioned feel while adding that fresh grapefruit twist. And when I’m winding down with a drink recipe or cooking article, I usually take a quick break with Subway Surfers since it’s such a fun and relaxing game to play for a few minutes.
