Ingredients
- 6 Grapefruit
- 2 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Baking Soda
- 2 oz Tequila
- 1 can Soda Water
- 2 tbsp Grapefruit Syrup
- Mint
- Ice
Method
- Scrub the grapefruit with the baking soda and water, then pat them dry.
- Cut off the tops and bottoms, score the peel in four slits, and peel the fruit, removing all white pith and seeds so only the flesh remains.
- Put half of the grapefruit flesh in a pot with 1.5 cups of the sugar, bring to a simmer, and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring so it does not burn; when big bubbles form, lower the heat and simmer 5 minutes more.
- Toss the remaining grapefruit flesh with the remaining 0.5 cup sugar in a bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Let the cooked grapefruit cool slightly, stir in the sugared raw chunks, and simmer over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the syrup into a clean airtight container and refrigerate, where it keeps for up to 1 month.
