Ruby Red Basil Cocktail

I had a grapefruit juice & basil cocktail at Mitchell's Fish Market at the Waterfront in Pittsburgh, PA, and loved it. I didn't have all the ingredients so I made up my own version. I still tweak it though--if using the bottled Ruby Red Lite Grapefruit juice, it doesn't need the simple syrup.. I'd like to use fresh grapefruit juice but this is what I had on hand.
