Or more simply: (“Get ready for something more sour and with more seeds, but if you add sugar, it might still work.”)
This is a playful twist on the Spanish idiom “mi media naranja” (my soulmate, literally “my half orange”). If your “half orange” turns out to be a toronja (grapefruit), the humor lies in the mismatch — grapefruit is larger, more bitter, and less sweet than an orange.
(“Then eat it in syrup, because since grapefruit is so bitter, you’ll need to sweeten the relationship.”)
