[Sca-cooks] Questions about de Nola

[johnna holloway]

My only reason for experimenting with it would be to approximate that
citric acid taste that grapefruit juice adds to the mix. I'd rather have 
Realemon around than fresh or frozen or grapefruit anything. I really 
dislike the smell of grapefruits. If and when the bitter oranges arrive 
this winter, I'll have to play around with all these recipes and see 
which are the best. I have the Goya bottled juice for comparison too.
