Share:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces tequila
- 1 cup fresh pink grapefruit juice (roughly two juiced)
- ¼ cup lime juice (roughly one juiced)
- 12 ounces club soda
- additional lime and grapefruit slices (optional garnish)
Chili-Infused Simple Syrup
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup water
- 1 fresno chili (thinly sliced)
Sugar Salt Rim
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Start by preparing the Chili-Infused Simple Syrup. Place the sugar and water in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add chili slices and remove from heat. Let chilis steep in simple syrup until syrup is cooled. Drain, then refrigerate for up to 5 days. Note: If you need the syrup sooner, place in the freezer to quickly bring down the temp before draining the chilis.
- When you're ready to make the cocktail, place the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and chili-infused simple syrup in a large pitcher and stir well. Place the sugar and salt for the rub on a small plate and mix with a fork to combine. Run a lime wedge along the rim of each glass then carefully dip the glasses into the sugar-salt rub until coated.
- Fill the cocktail glasses with ice and pour mixture until 3/4 full. Top off each glass with club soda and fruit garnish to serve.
Notes
- To make mild, remove the pith and seeds from the chili pepper. Otherwise, to keep spicy, follow recipe as is, using sliced chilis whole with the seeds and pith.
