🙋 Recipe FAQ's
Oroblanco is a hybrid fruit that looks similar to a white grapefruit with a sweeter flavor that has no bitterness.
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.
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.
📖 Variations
- Use all cherry juice in place of the oroblanco juice and maraschino cherry juice for a full on cherry martini.
- Blend the drink and ice in a blender for a frozen martini.

I'm so glad things are turning around Shelby. We've been through it too, my husband was laid off a few years ago and I am thankful to this day it worked out for us too. It is SO stressful, especially for the man of the house right? Cheers to you both! Beautiful beverage!
