It's ambiguous but the way I read that La Florida recipe, I'd guess the original calls for the juice of a quarter of a grapefruit (rather than a quarter of a part or of an ounce).

The Grinch

1 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1⁄2 oz Suze (see note)
3⁄4 oz Melon liqueur, Midori
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
Instructions

Chill a coupe glass. Combine in your shaker tin and shake with ice. Double strain into your chilled glass.

Notes

I like to make a honeyed Suze, which is three parts Suze combined with one part honey by weight. In my view, this is a more balanced bitter liqueur. Works a lot like Campari but with its own herbal, botanical finish.

History

Had a bit of Midori and was inspired to make something that had that Grinchy glow.
