Hey there, gang.  We at Octavarius are relatively new to this adult thing.  We’re all in our early 20’s and sometimes we make mistakes.  Whether its spending too much money on video games, skipping expensive saxophone lessons, or eating a corndog pizza, we often do things regrettable in hindsight.

How can I resist corndog pizza when I see it in my dreams?

And it’s only natural.  Times are hard and we are no longer children.  We’re sexy young adults who have disposable income.  If we chose, we could buy $100 worth of Kit Kats and eat them in one night.  If we think it will make us happy, why the Hell not?

Well fear not friends!  I’m here to tell you about a delicious inexpensive decision you can make today.

EAT A GRAPEFRUIT!

A beautiful ruby red grapefruit kicks your bad decision's ass.

Grapefruits are in season, gang!  That means that they’re juicier and cheaper than ever!  They come in yellow, white, pink and ruby red.  Their juicy fruit and tangy-sweet taste makes it great for breakfast, between-meal snacks, or late night munchies.  They’re high in Vitamin C, too!

Slice through the center of a grapefruit to get to the sweet, tart flesh within.  When you’re done, you can pick up the half grapefruit like a cup and drink the sweet juice.

“But grapefruit juice is too sour for me,” you say.  FEAR NOT!  Luckily for you, grapefruit is a wonderful mixer for cocktails!

A Blue Bayou is a delicious tropical drink made with grapefruit juice

It’s sour taste naturally neutralizes the alcohol flavor in your drink.  Most bars are stocked with grapefruit juice.  Next time you’re out making bad decisions and getting tipsy in your favorite bar, order up a Blue Bayou.  It’s made with grapefruit juice, pineapple, vodka, and blue curacao.

Or try a salty dog.  Grapefruit juice and vodka, mighty delicious.

Whether you eat it, drink it, or just cut it open and look at it, I guarantee you that if you enjoy a grapefruit today you will not regret it.
