- 2Sprinkle each grapefruit half with granulated sugar. Pour 1 tablespoon of white wine or sherry into each half. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Place the prepared grapefruits in an ice chest or refrigerator and let them stand for at least 4 hours to ripen.
- 3Serve the chilled grapefruit halves cold, in their shells. Garnish each half with a maraschino cherry.
