🙋 Recipe FAQ's

What is oroblanco?

Oroblanco is a hybrid fruit that looks similar to a white grapefruit with a sweeter flavor that has no bitterness.

Where can I buy an oroblanco?

Oroblancos are in season from September - December. They are sold in grocery stores throughout the us. They are mainly popular in the west coast, but can be found in the mid-west and east coast also.

What can I substitute for an oroblanco?

You can substitute either a polmello or grapefruit. I recommend a pink grapefruit as it is not as bitter as the white grapefruit.

💭 Tips

Use a citrus reamer to get as much of the juice as possible from the fruit.
Substitute regular cherry juice for maraschino cherry juice.
If the drink is not sweet enough, feel free to add simple syrup to taste.
