Ingredients (5)
- 2 ounces freshly squeezed red grapefruit juice
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 ounce orgeat
- Ice
- 1 thin red grapefruit slice, for garnish
Red grapefruit juice and orgeat give this drink its slightly opaque, pearlescent color. If you choose, add a splash of rum or vodka, but this floral, citrusy blend can hold its own without the booze.
What to buy: Orgeat is an almond-sugar syrup traditionally made from whole blanched almonds. The nut oil gives the syrup (and cocktails made with it) a richness that can’t be duplicated with a cheap almond-flavored syrup. Try to find a high-quality brand such as Small Hand Foods or B.G. Reynolds.
