“Old Dog, New Trick” gin and pink grapefruit juice cocktail with thyme and black pepper

I know. Longest title ever. Long title short story. Grapefruit on sale. Three open bottles of gin in the cabinet (gifts, every last one of ’em). Three distinctly different bottles of gin in the cabinet. Is it weird (or too Portlandia-ish)that I sniffed all three before opting for the New Deal Gin 33? 

This was yummy, perfect on this sunny days ahead teaser Friday. It will rain again tomorrow so I’ll take the blush and glow today. I liked the Thyme but it did necessitate some chewing. When I make this again I’ll take the time to chop the herbs.
