Strain: Take your chilled glass out of the freezer. Strain the cocktail into the glass to remove the ice chips.
Garnish: Twist a strip of grapefruit peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass or place it on the rim as a garnish.
Serve immediately: Enjoy your Grapefruit Cosmo fresh and cold!
