- Sprig of thyme or orange peel for garnish
Instructions
- If you want a sugared rim, place coarse sugar on a small plate and moisten rim of coup glass (or other small cocktail glass) with a little grapefruit juice. Place glass upside-down on plate to coat rim in sugar.

- Shake well and pour into prepared glass.
- Garnish cocktail with small grapefruit wedge and a sprig of thyme or orange peel.
Notes
- Cocktail recipe adapted from Highlands Bar and Grill via Serious Eats.
- Note: the color of the cocktail will depend a lot on the color of your grapefruit. Use ruby red grapefruit if you want a pinker looking drink rather than a yellow drink.
- If you're in a rush or don't have access to fresh grapefruit, you can use store-bought juice instead.
