The Pink Grapefruit Cocktail |
| Description: | A savory, fruit-infused cocktail recipe that leaves the tongue tingling. This spiced rum drink is blushed with a hint of grenadine fresh grapefruit. Omit the peppercorn rim if guests can’t handle the heat; you’ll still have a winning, refreshing drink. Adapted from Spice & Ice: 60 Tongue-Tingling Cocktails, by Kara Newman. |

| Ingredients: | 1 ounce simple syrup, plus 1 tablespoon for rim Crushed pink peppercorns for rim ½ large grapefruit, peeled and separated into segments 2 ounces Sailor Jerry spiced rum Grenadine |
| Directions: | Moisten the rim of a martini glass with the 1 tablespoon of simple syrup. Roll the edge of the glass in the peppercorns. (If a chilled glass is desired, carefully set the rimmed glass in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.)
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the grapefruit segments and the remaining 1 ounce simple syrup. Shake with the rum and ice, and strain into the rimmed glass. Add a splash of grenadine, just enough to give the drink a rosy pink tint. |
