Ingredients

Candied Grapefruit/ Grapefruit Syrup

  • 1 grapefruit, sliced
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Mezcal Grapefruit Sour

  • 2 oz Mezcal (I used Banhez)
  • 1 oz grapefruit juice
  • juice from ½ lime
  • 1 oz grapefruit syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 candied grapefruit

Instructions

Candied Grapefruit + Grapefruit Syrup

  • In a medium pot heat the water and sugar. Bring to a slight boil and then reduce to medium low to simmer. Add the sliced grapefruit. Cover and cook for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. When the candied grapefruit is done, place the slices onto the cookie sheet. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place in the fridge for at least a half hour to chill. Warm grapefruit will not float in the drink. Chill the remaining syrup as well.

Mezcal Grapefruit Sour

  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add the mezcal, grapefruit juice, lime, grapefruit syrup and an egg white. Place the lid on and shake aggressively. To foam the egg white it needs a little extra shakin'/ Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a candied grapefruit slice.
