Grapefruit Old Fashioned

Got this recipe from Woodford Reserve. We couldn't believe that a distillery that makes and ages as good of a whiskey as they do would then soak it in grapefruit. But it is delicious! The grapefruit actually enhances the flavor of the bourbon. It is definitely worth the effort to make this.
