Number Of Ingredients 10

SPICY GRAPEFRUIT SYRUP
1 cup(s) fresh grapefruit juice
1 cup(s) sugar
2-3 fresh serrano chiles
COCKTAIL
1 1/2 ounce(s) aged rum
3/4 ounce(s) spicy grapefruit syrup
1/2 ounce(s) guava nectar
1/2 ounce(s) pineapple juice
1/2 ounce(s) fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Make the syrup: Place the grapefruit juice and sugar in a saucepan. Split the serrano chiles and discard just half the seeds (or more if you like it less spicy). Set aside. Bring the juice mixture to a boil and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Add the chiles with seeds, and continue to simmer another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Strain and keep refrigerated.
  • For the cocktail: Add ice to a cocktail shaker and add all the ingredient. Shake until frosty and strain into an ice-filled glass. Garnish, if you like, with a slice of grapefruit or lime.
