Time 2m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lime wedge
1 to 2 tsp sugar (for rim)
6 to 7 fresh mint leaves
1/2 tsp grapefruit zest (optional)
1 oz simple syrup (more or less, to taste)
1 1/2 oz light rum
4 to 5 oz pink grapefruit juice
2 to 3 oz club soda (or as needed to fill glass)
1/2 cup ice cubes
1 grapefruit segment (for garnish)

Steps:

  • 2. Tear mint leaves and place in the bottom of the old-fashioned glass. Add grapefruit zest (if using) and simple syrup, and muddle the mint leaves, to release the mint flavoring. Add ice cubes to the glass.
  • 3. Gently pour in rum and pink grapefruit juice over the ice (being careful not to knock any of the sugar off the rim). Top off with a few splashes of club soda. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
  • 4. Garnish with a fresh grapefruit segment, and serve immediately.
