Makes: 4 cocktails
Ingredients
- ½ habanero pepper (take seeds out if don't want full spice)
- ½ cup tequila
- 3 whole grapefruits
- 1 whole lime
- 2 oz. grand marnier
- 4 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
- Sea salt
- Cayenne
Instructions
- Cut the habanero pepper in half. Remove seeds if you don't want full spice (I kept them in).
- In a mason jar or other airtight container, combine the habanero slices and tequila and let steep for at least three hours. The longer you steep, the spicier it will get.
- Slice all three grapefruits in half and place five of the halves on a baking sheet. Put them under the broiler for about 10 minutes, until their skins are roasted and shriveling and flesh is charred.
- While grapefruit is roasting, cut remaining grapefruit half into slices. Slice lime.
- Remove the grapefruit and let them cool. When you are able to touch them, juice all five slices and place juice in the fridge to cool completely.
- When tequila has steeped and grapefruit juice has cooled, combine 4 oz. grapefruit juice, 1 ½ oz. habanero tequila, ½ oz. grand marnier, and 1 oz. lime juice in a shaker.
- Pour into ice-filled glass rimmed with mixture of sea salt and cayenne. Add sliced grapefruit and lime.
- Repeat with remaining tequila and grapefruit juice.
