Eldee Grapefruit Liqueur
Eldee Grapefruit Liqueur is a French liqueur de pamplemousse bottled at 18% ABV (36 proof) in a 750mL resealable swing-top bottle — delicate and fragrant, with the bright, slightly bitter snap of real grapefruit. Like the rest of the Eldee range, it is made in France by the house's master liqueur maker with fruit from environmentally responsible farming. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

French Citrus, Built for the Spritz
Grapefruit liqueur lives or dies on one thing: whether it tastes like the fruit or like candy. Eldee's pamplemousse keeps the peel's natural bitterness in the frame, which is exactly what makes it useful — that edge turns a simple spritz into something structured, and it gives palomas and greyhounds a lift that sweeter liqueurs can't. At 36 proof it pours long and easy. Browse the Eldee collection, explore more liqueurs, and shop the full spirits shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Fresh grapefruit pith and juice — floral aromatics over a bittersweet citrus core. The finish is clean and lightly bitter, like the last sip of a good paloma, with none of the syrupy weight cheap citrus liqueurs bring.
How to Enjoy
Over ice with soda water and a grapefruit twist is the baseline; it also slots into palomas (with blanco tequila), greyhounds (with vodka), and sparkling-wine spritzes. Chill the bottle first — it drinks best cold.
