Ingredients
for 1 serving
- 2 grapefruits, quartered and squeezed, juice reserved for another use
- 1 cup sugar (200 g)
- ice
- 2 oz tequila (60 mL)
- 1 oz lime juice (30 mL)
- 1 oz grapefruit peel simple syrup (30 mL)
- ¼ cup club soda (60 mL), to taste
- 1 wedge grapefruit
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the grapefruit rinds and sugar. Toss to coat the rinds with the sugar, then cover. Let sit, stirring every 45 minutes, for about 4 hours, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and there’s syrup in the bottom of the bowl.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pushing to extract as much syrup as possible. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
