Well emulsified with the grapefruit juice, the cocktail doesn't taste like drinking a cup of olive oil. I drank my last one 9 hrs ago. I put both in a jelly jar, shook and shook and shook, took it to the bedroom, shook it some more, opened the lid, inserted a straw, put straw into back of mouth as far as I could comfortably and just drank it down. I don't psych myself out about doing this and I have no problems with it; no vomitting in 8 flushes, no indigestion.
