1
Prepare glass
Chill a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail, then discard the ice water just before assembling.
2
Mix base
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh pink grapefruit juice, gin, simple syrup, fresh lime juice and grapefruit bitters (if using). Fill the shaker with ice until about two-thirds full.
3
Shake
Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This both chills and lightly dilutes the mixture for balance.
4
Strain over fresh ice
Fill the chilled highball glass with fresh ice (about 3/4 full). Double-strain the shaken mixture into the glass to remove pulp and small ice shards for a smooth texture.
5
Top with soda
Gently pour the chilled club soda down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. Stir once lightly with a bar spoon (1–2 rotations) to incorporate the soda without flattening it.
6
Garnish and finish
Express the oils of a grapefruit wheel or twist over the drink then drop it in as garnish. Add a sprig of thyme or rosemary for an aromatic accent if desired. Serve immediately with a short straw.
