Pink Puffin with IMPOSTER Rum
Pink grapefruit • Rum-inspired • sparkling
Pink Puffin brings the grapefruit-and-Rum formula to a stemmed goblet with ice and a grapefruit wedge. Its original measures match American Spritz exactly: four ounces of Fever-Tree Sparkling Grapefruit and two ounces of IMPOSTER Rum. The name does not mean there is another fruit syrup or coloring ingredient to add. Build the Rum over serving ice, pour in the chilled sparkling mixer, and stir gently. Choose this presentation for a casual afternoon menu or alongside taller ginger-beer drinks. The goblet is the visual distinction in the current recipe set, not evidence of a different sweetener balance or a separately tested liquid formula.

Why This Works With IMPOSTER Rum
Rum supplies the spirit-inspired base and sparkling grapefruit supplies the entire measured mixer. No soda top-up or syrup is needed. Keeping the ingredients unchanged acknowledges the source's shared formula with American Spritz instead of inventing a new difference between the names.
Serving Notes
Use a goblet with enough room for the measured liquid and serving ice.
Add grapefruit after Rum, then use a short, gentle stir.
Variations and Substitutions
Wine-glass serve
The American Spritz presentation uses a wine glass with the same liquid measures.
Garnish-free option
Leave off the wedge if unavailable. Do not add fruit syrup to explain the pink name.
