The Two-Five
The house drink. Bitter, dry, faintly floral, and small enough that you can have it while cooking dinner.

Steps
- Fill the glass properly with ice. A half-filled glass melts faster and you end up drinking it warm.
- Pour the aperitif over the ice, then top with the soda water.
- Squeeze the grapefruit peel over the surface so the oils land on the drink, then drop it in.
- Stir once. Once is enough.
Why it works
Bitter aperitifs and cannabis share a lot of terpene vocabulary, which is why this tastes composed rather than like a soda with something added. The soda water is doing structural work: it lifts the aromatics up out of the glass so you smell the grapefruit before you taste the bitterness.
