About This Recipe

Yield: serves 2
Active time: 5 minutes
Total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 9 ounces fresh pink grapefruit juice (from 1 1/2 large grapefruits), spent skins reserved
  • 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar, loosely packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha

Procedures

  1. Place the salt in a small, shallow plate in an even layer. Moisten the rim of a coupe glass by running the already-squeezed grapefruit skin around the rim. Dip glass into salt and set aside. Repeat with second glass.

  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour grapefruit juice, Sriracha, and brown sugar into cocktail shaker. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds, and strain into salt-rimmed coupe glasses. Serve immediately
