Cocktail Grapefruit

The cross was made at Riverside, possibly in the 1950s. The variety was never officially released by the University of California, Riverside, but somehow made it into the public sector.^⁠[1]

A medium-large fruit, about grapefruit size. The rind is dark yellow and thin; the flesh is dark yellow, almost orange-yellow. The fruit is very seedy for commercial use but is described as a good dooryard juice variety.^⁠[1]

Cocktail trees are large and vigorous. The fruit varies from orange size to grapefruit size, with a thin, smooth, yellow rind and seedy, yellow-orange flesh. The flesh is exceptionally juicy. Cocktail matures in early winter, and fruit holds well on the tree, becoming puffy when very old without desiccating.^⁠[1]
