"Grapefruit Bourbon Crusta",
This is my riff on the Pink Grapefruit Bourbon Crusta from Hungry Couple NYC, subbing dry curaçao for the triple sec, Earl grey tea syrup for simple and using grapefruit lavender as my bitters of choice. It’s certainly an eye-catching drink and it’s mighty tasty.
Ingredients:
- George Dickel Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon
- Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
Instructions:
To make the syrup, bring a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water to a simmer, stirring to dissolve all the sugar, bring to a boil, then add a few scoops of loose leaf Earl grey tea or a few tea bags. Take your syrup off the heat and leave it, covered, to infuse for 2 hours. Then either strain out the loose tea or remove the bags. Pour it into a bottle or jar and chill it in the fridge until ready to use.
When you’re ready to make the drink, use a slice of grapefruit to leave a thick rim of juice on your glass, then dip it in granulated sugar and chill the glass in the freezer. Shake all ingredients with ice and double strain into your chilled, sugar rimmed glass. Garnish with the thickest grapefruit peel you can cut.
