TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2018 /CNW/ - Corby Spirit and Wine is pleased to introduce a brand new flavour into the McGuinness liqueurs family: McGuinness® Ruby Red Grapefruit. Made with quality ingredients, this product offers a fruity and refreshing twist on classic cocktails like the Grapefruit Moscow Mule and Grapefruit Collins (recipes below).

Produced in Windsor, Ontario at the Hiram Walker & Sons Distillery, McGuinness® is Canada's largest mixable liqueur family offering 18 versatile flavours.
The newest addition to the McGuinness® liqueur family aims to enhance consumers' cocktail-making experience with its natural grapefruit flavour.

"We're excited to introduce Ruby Red Grapefruit to consumers - it's the perfect mixer to add a delicious twist to traditional cocktails."
