Pink Grapefruit Mojito Recipes

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and grapefruit zest until the mint is bruised and the sugar starts to melt. Add the grapefruit juice and rum. Fill with ice and shake until very cold. Strain into 2 glasses over ice and top off with the club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig and grapefruit wedge in each glass.

Steps:

• Muddle the agave, mint and lime juice in the bottom of a cocktail shaker with the end of a wooden spoon. Add the vodka and grapefruit juice and then fill it three-quarters of the way full with ice. Shake until it is very cold, then evenly divide between two glasses filled with ice. Top with the sparkling water or champagne to taste.

Steps:

• Put the grapefruit juice, most of the mint and the sugar in a large jug. Crush the ingredients together with the end of a rolling pin to release the flavour from the mint and dissolve the sugar. Add the rum, mix well and top up with soda water and ice. Add the sliced grapefruit and remaining mint before serving.

Steps:

• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, and add mint leaves. Let steep 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a small bowl, and discard mint. Let cool.
• Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from grapefruit in long, wide strips. Place in a large glass, and add rum. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve intoa large glass measure, and discard zest.
• Cut away remaining pith from grapefruit. Cut between membranes to release segments. For each drink, place 2 to 3 segments in a glass. Top with 3/4 cup ice. Stir 3 tablespoons infused rum, 2 tablespoons mint syrup, and 1/4 cup seltzer in a glass measure, and pour over ice. Garnish with mint sprigs.

Steps:

• 1. Rub the lime wedge across the rim of a large (8-oz size) old-fashioned glass. Dip the rim in the sugar.
• 2. Tear mint leaves and place in the bottom of the old-fashioned glass. Add grapefruit zest (if using) and simple syrup, and muddle the mint leaves, to release the mint flavoring. Add ice cubes to the glass.
• 3. Gently pour in rum and pink grapefruit juice over the ice (being careful not to knock any of the sugar off the rim). Top off with a few splashes of club soda. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
• 4. Garnish with a fresh grapefruit segment, and serve immediately.
