Liqueur De Pamplemousse (Pink Grapefruit) (700 ml)

Massenez, the Alsatian liqueur house founded in 1870, sources pink grapefruit for this expression, macerated and distilled in the traditional fruit-liqueur method practiced across the Alsace region. The base is a neutral grain spirit infused with fresh grapefruit pith and flesh, capturing the bitter-sweet citrus character without added colorants — the pale rose hue derives entirely from the fruit itself. Bottled at 25% ABV, the liqueur balances the natural acidity and slight bitterness of grapefruit against a controlled sweetness, typical of Massenez's restrained house style. The Alsatian terroir, with its continental climate and limestone-rich soils, has long supported fruit-liqueur production; Massenez's proximity to the Vosges foothills ensures access to quality citrus imports routed through the region's historic trade networks. This is a working liqueur — neither overly sweet nor aggressively bitter — designed for aperitif service, long drinks, or culinary application rather than sipping neat.
