- 1. Rub the lime wedge across the rim of a large (8-oz size) old-fashioned glass. Dip the rim in the sugar.
- 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.

- 4. Garnish with a fresh grapefruit segment, and serve immediately.
