Frosty Grapefruit Cocktail
Vodka flavoured with bison grass, an aromatic herb, brings a herbaceous flavour to this cocktail (reminiscent of vetiver), but it you don’t have it on hand, use your favourite regular vodka.
Ingredients
- 1 pink grapefruit, halved
- Sugar, for sprinkling
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) ice cubes
- 3 oz (90 ml) bison grass vodka
- 1 oz (30 ml) store-bought grapefruit syrup (see note)
Instructions
- On a work surface, cut 1 round slice of grapefruit from one of the grapefruit halves. Juice the remaining grapefruit to obtain ¼ cup (60 ml) of juice.
- Cut the grapefruit slice into 4 pieces and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Quickly caramelize using a culinary torch or under the broiler. Let cool.
- In a blender, finely crush the ice with the grapefruit juice and the remaining ingredients until frothy. Pour into two martini or margarita glasses. Garnish with the caramelized grapefruit pieces.
